The Berlin Regional Court has granted a permanent injunction against eDreams following previous findings in October 2024.
The court prohibited eDreams from using misleading statements on alleged savings under the German Unfair Competition Act. Ryanair argued that several eDreams Prime terms and conditions violated transparency requirements under German consumer protection law.
The injunction barred eDreams from failing to disclose potential Prime fee increases.
Ryanair urged EU Consumer Protection Authorities to enforce matching transparency standards across Europe.
Ryanair shared in a written statement: We welcome the Berlin Regional Court’s decision to grant a permanent injunction prohibiting Edreams from using Edreams Prime terms and conditions that the Court has previously found to be “unlawful” or “misleading” under the German Unfair Competition Act and also terms that the Court found to be in violation of the “transparency requirements” under German consumer protection law.
An eDreams ODIGEO written statement shared: “This ruling concerns a minor display format on a legacy version of our platform that we have long since discontinued; it is therefore substantially irrelevant to our current offering. Now that Ryanair claims to ‘welcome’ judicial decisions, we look forward to them finally complying with the long list of binding decisions that we have secured for their grave anti-consumer practices in this very jurisdiction, Germany, as well as in Spain, where they continue to blatantly breach court orders requiring them to cease their false and denigrating campaign against us. Ryanair must stop acting as if they are above the law”.
