Michael O'Leary blasts 1960s law as Spain fines Ryanair 108 million
Briefly

Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary criticized the €108 million fine imposed by Spain as politically motivated, claiming it's illegal and undermines low-cost airline fares.
O'Leary stated, 'These illegal and baseless fines... have been invented by Spain's Consumer Affairs Ministry for political reasons, are clearly in breach of EU law.'
Ryanair's penalties are based on an outdated law pre-dating Spain's EU membership, which O'Leary argues would harm low-cost airlines' ability to offer lower fares.
