RYANAIR REJECTS EDREAMS CLAIMS
Ryanair today (19 Nov) called on Edreams to explain why it is the only large online travel agent (OTA) which continues to overcharge Ryanair customers. All other major OTAs, including Booking.com, Lastminute and Kiwi, have signed up to the principle of price transparency and in return receive direct free of charge access to Ryanair's ticket inventory. Edreams - on the other hand - has been scraping Ryanair's website for nearly 20 years and has built its business model on the premise they overcharge their customers.
Ryanair's spokesperson said:
"Despite our repeated objections, Edreams has been scraping Ryanair's fares and ancillary services for years, and continues to do so. Instead of blaming Ryanair today for a fall in its profit guidance, Edreams should recognise that it is now the only large OTA which does not follow Ryanair's price transparency standards that are successfully applied by most other large OTAs, including Booking.com, Lastminute, Kiwi and many others. Ryanair's offer to grant Edreams free-of-charge access to our ticket inventory remains open, as long as Edreams is willing to commit to the same principles of price transparency as its competitors have committed to over the past 2 years."
