Europe’s biggest low-cost airline, Ryanair, is facing an investigation over the mandatory fee it charges a parent to sit with their child.The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in Britain said the Irish carrier’s terms and conditions require at least one parent to sit with their children, including those with disabilities, and then bills them about £8 a flight to do so.The watchdog will investigate whether this is an unfair contract term under consumer law. It understands that Ryanair is the only large airline flying out of the UK to impose this charge.Ryanair called it a “bogus investigation”, adding that it looked forward to “disproving these false CMA claims”. The airline said that it does not charge any fee for children to sit beside their parent or accompanying adult. However, parents and guardians must pay a booking fee to be seated next to them.The Irish Times would like to hear what you think.
