Ryanair has threatened to cease operating to airports in Spain where disputes by baggage handlers have led to disruption to passengers.
In a statement the airline said there were unwarranted and unjustified disruptions to flights and services in Granada, Seville and Jerez. It warned that if the disruptions did not stop it would "be forced to cease operating routes to these airports at the end of November because of passenger disruption".
Meanwhile, Ryanair has agreed to change its contract terms to give travellers a fairer deal on cancellation of flights or delays, and lost or damaged luggage.
Following action by the UK's Office of Fair Trading (OFT), the airline has amended the terms regarding delayed or cancelled flights. The OFT had been concerned about the options offered to consumers in these situations.
Ryanair has also amended its terms with regard to liability of delay for sporting equipment, infant equipment, medical-mobility equipment and musical instruments which previously were carried at the passenger's own risk.
On lost baggage, the airline has amended terms so that the passenger is not required to make a further claim within the initial 21-day period.
Ryanair said the OFT had been in contact with a number of airlines, including Ryanair, EasyJet, Aer Lingus, Iberia, El Al, Thai Airways, British Airways, KLM and Jet 2, over the past two years to suggest additions/modifications to the terms and conditions of travel, and Ryanair had been working with the OFT to implement these.
