RYANAIR WELCOMES HUNGARIAN COURT RULING TO ANNUL €763,000 FINE BY THE
HUNGARIAN CONSUMER PROTECTION AUTHORITY (CPA)
Ryanair, Hungary’s No. 1 airline, today (1st June) welcomes a ruling by
the Metropolitan Court of Budapest, which annulled the bogus fine of
€763,000 raised by the Hungarian CPA in August 2022 after Ryanair passed
the Hungarian Govt’s “excess profit” tax of €10 per departing
passenger to consumers. At the time, Ryanair condemned this “excess
profit” tax when the main airlines in Hungary (including Ryanair) were
reporting record Covid-related losses.
In a ruling last week, the Metropolitan Court of Budapest annulled this
bogus fine, and confirmed that Ryanair could lawfully pass on this tax to
consumers, and that Ryanair’s procedural rights had been “violated”.
The Hungarian Court’s ruling is in line with EU law, which guarantees all
airlines the freedom to set prices and pass on retrospective taxes to
consumers.
Ryanair welcomes this ruling, which reverses this absurd and politically
motivated fine.
RYANAIR’S CHIEF LEGAL OFFICER, JULIUSZ KOMOREK, SAID:
_ “We welcome this ruling by the Hungarian Courts, which properly
reflects EU law, which guarantees airlines the freedom to set prices and
pass on retrospective taxes, even in cases such as this where there was no
lawful basis for the Hungarian Govt’s bogus “excess profits” tax of
€10 per departing passenger, at a time when all EU airlines were losing
money due to Covid._
_Ryanair believes that this Hungarian CPA fine was politically motivated,
and calls on the Justice Minister, Judit Varga, to apologise for her
Facebook post which welcomed the imposition of this politically motivated
but bogus fine, which has now been annulled by the Hungarian Courts._
_Ryanair continues to invest in Hungary, and continues to offer low fare
air travel to/from Hungary for both Hungarian citizens and visitors. The
clarity provided by this Hungarian Court ruling will help us to continue to
invest in and grow our traffic in Hungary for the benefit of Hungarian
citizens, their families, and the Hungarian tourism industry.”_
