Ryanair deems these repeated NATS failures unacceptable, calling for a change in leadership and urging the departure of CEO Martin Rolfe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the airline raises concerns about OTA (Online Travel Agency) Pirates, such as eDreams, Kiwi, Opodo, and Onthebeach, engaging in unlawful screenscraping of Ryanair&#8217;s website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These practices lead to overcharged flights, hidden mark-ups, invented &#8220;service&#8221; fees, and the dissemination of fake customer contact and payment details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryanair calls upon the UK Government and consumer agencies to take action against this internet piracy and blatant consumer abuse by OTA Pirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In celebration of the introduction of 2 new aircraft and 7 new routes for London, Ryanair has launched a 2-day seat sale offering fares starting from \u00a319.99, exclusively available at Ryanair.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-88-1024x682.png\" alt=\"Ryanair Nearing New Large Boeing Order Placement, Says Source\" class=\"wp-image-32802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-88-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-88-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-88-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-88-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-88-750x499.png 750w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-88-1140x759.png 1140w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-88.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Ryanair Boeing 737-800 &#8211; Free photo on Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ceo-remarks\">CEO Remarks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael O&#8217;Leary, CEO of Ryanair, expressed the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are delighted to announce the addition of 2 new aircraft ($200 million investment) and the introduction of 7 new routes for London in S24, encompassing Basel, Dubrovnik, Palma, Sarajevo, Tatry, Tirana, and Treviso. This expansion is accompanied by the creation of 150 high-paying aviation jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While our UK customers and visitors prepare for an exciting summer, the persistent threat of repeated failures by UK NATS continues to disrupt the travel plans of UK passengers. It is our firm belief that the overpaid CEO of UK NATS, Martin Rolfe, should step down immediately, allowing a competent individual to assume the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, OTA Pirates persist in deceiving unsuspecting UK consumers by engaging in the illegal practice of screenscraping the Ryanair.com website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This results in consumers being overcharged for our flights and ancillary services, with the deception further masked by providing fake customer contact and payment details. It is imperative that action be taken to outlaw this form of internet piracy and combat these anti-consumer practices by OTA Pirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned with us.
