Ryanair Says New Italy Decree on Airfares ‘Illegal’

Ryanair Holdings Plc senior executive Eddie Wilson said a new decree passed by the Italian government to reduce the impact of rising airfares this summer is illegal.

“It’s ridiculous, illegal and goes against free market laws,” Wilson, who is chief executive officer of Ryanair’s main unit, said in an interview with Ansa newswire. If the new package isn’t scrapped, “there’s going to be an impact on Ryanair operations in Italy.”
