The Irish High Court recorded binding undertakings from eDreams that require the OTA to cease all access to Ryanair’s Travel Agent Direct (TAD) booking system.
eDreams agreed to stop direct and indirect access, prevent third-party use, and shut down any ongoing activity. The order followed Ryanair’s action to block eDreams’ attempts to sell flights through unlawful access and third-party conspiracies.
Ryanair offered eDreams free API access if it adopted transparency standards that other OTAs accepted.
Dara Brady CMO of Ryanair shared “Today’s High Court Order is a welcome development that prevents eDreams from unlawfully accessing Ryanair’s TAD booking systems. Ryanair will continue to take action to protect consumers from overcharging and from the misleading practices of screenscraping OTAs such as eDreams. Our priority remains, ensuring passengers benefit from Ryanair’s industry‑leading transparency standards, as delivered by our approved OTA partners, and that they receive the full, direct service they are entitled to when booking Ryanair flights.”
