July 26, 2007

MEPs have supported a Commission proposal to make it obligatory for airlines to advertise real flight prices, rather than eye-catching numbers that hide the full cost.

[mailchimp_signup][/mailchimp_signup]A number of flights are advertised as being free or costing one cent, when there are up to €35 of charges to be paid. If approved by ministers, the new rules will come into effect in January.

• The Irish low-fares airline Ryanair has been ordered by the British advertising authority not to show an advert that understated the impact of aviation on the environment.
