The carriers, including Ryanair, Vueling, EasyJet, Norwegian Air, and Volotea, faced significant fines for charging passengers to reserve adjacent seats, misleading pricing, and payment practices.
The fines, totaling over 177 million euros, stemmed from practices that hindered consumer decision-making, such as charging disproportionate fees for printing boarding passes.
Facua, a consumer rights association, celebrated the fines, indicating they are the highest ever given by a consumer protection authority and enable passengers to seek reimbursement.
The consumer rights ministry dismissed the airlines' appeals against the fines, stating that the penalties reflect the illicit profits derived from exploitative practices.
