Spain's consumer rights ministry announced on Thursday that Ryanair had been slapped with a nine-figure penalty for its seating and baggage practices, having rejected a previous appeal. Competitor budget airlines EasyJet and Vueling received respective fines of €29 million and €39 million. In total, European airlines face a €179 million fine from the Spanish ministry, with Norwegian and Volotea facing smaller fines.
