The European Commission has said that fines imposed by Spain on five budget airlines for charging extra fees on cabin bags breaches EU regulations.
Last year, the Spanish government fined Ryanair, Vueling, easyJet, Norwegian and Volotea a total of 179 million R3,5bn for charging for cabin bags. The fines were suspended earlier this year while the matter was under judicial review.
According to the European Commission, the fines breach an EU regulation that allows airlines the freedom to set their prices.
