Ryanair Holdings Plc accused Poland of discrimination amid an ongoing dispute between the government and the country’s air traffic controllers.
The airline filed a complaint with the European Union against Poland, saying that the local regulator is breaking the bloc’s rules by unfairly prioritising national carrier PLL Lot.
According to Ryanair, its Polish competitor is favoured
by route selections, when a protest by air controllers starting on May 1 will limit flights to and from the east European country.
Poland “arbitrarily†selected priority connections, cutting most served by budget airlines including itself and Wizz Air Holdings Plc, Ryanair said in an email. The Irish carrier has become the biggest airline in Poland, flying 2.46 million passengers, or 34% of all traffic, in the third quarter of 2021.
