LONDON (Alliance News) - Irish budget carrier Ryanair Holdings PLC has lost a test case on flight delays which could affect compensation claims made by millions of passengers, the BBC reports.
Manchester County Court ruled the airline cannot cut the time a passenger has to claim for flight delays to two years from six currently by adding a clause to its small print. The ruling will set a precedent for delayed passengers in the European Union using all airlines, the BBC said.
Ryanair said the six year rule is "unnecessary and unreasonable" and added it will appeal the decision.
