Bailiffs board Ryanair plane after airline refuses to pay delayed flight compensation
AI Summary
In Austria, a Ryanair plane was boarded by bailiffs at Linz airport on Monday after the airline refused to pay €890 in compensation and legal costs to a passenger whose 2024 flight from Linz to Mallorca was delayed by 13 hours. The passenger had won a court order against Ryanair after they failed to refund expenses and provide compensation for the delayed flight. Austrian officials took action after the airline ignored the court order. Unable to collect the debt from the crew, the bailiff placed a seizure sticker on the aircraft, allowing it to fly to London under specific conditions while giving the court legal control. The court can sell the Boeing 737 if Ryanair doesn't pay the debt. The passenger's lawyer intends to continue enforcement action, while Ryanair denies the aircraft was seized but has not commented further.
