Italy court overturns $4.9 million Ryanair fine over COVID-19 flights

"The Court ruled that the AGCM discriminated against Ryanair by applying different standards than it did to other airlines in equivalent cases," Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary ‌said ⁠in a statement, referring to the antitrust regulator.

O'Leary called on Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni ⁠to "urgently reform" the regulator and said the airline was also ⁠appealing a separate 256 million euro fine imposed by the ⁠agency in December.
