Ryanair announcement - German Supreme Court rules that credit card fees are legal – as long as there is a valid free payment method
Saturday 22, May 2010
Ryanair yesterday corrected the false statements made by the German consumer organisation (VZBV), and repeated in today’s Irish Times newspaper, following yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling in Germany.
VZBV wrongly claimed that airlines will now be banned from charging credit card fees. This is untrue. The German Court ruling clearly said that credit card fees are legal and can be applied as long as a widely available free payment method is offered.
The German Court’s ruling vindicates Ryanair’s position that credit card fees are legal as long as a free payment method is offered.
Ryanair’s lawyers have written today to the VZBV and the Irish Times demanding retraction of yesterday’s false statements.
