Collection of hand luggage
Budget airlines are reluctant to forgo carry-on baggage revenue, despite recent sanctions. The Airlines Association (ALA) is defending itself against the fine of 150 million euros imposed by the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and the 2030 Agenda on four airlines for charging for hand luggage. A sanction which, for the moment, affects Ryanair, Volotea, Vueling And EasyJet.
“The fines are disproportionate due to the amount and the prohibition of these practices in the future,” said Javier Gándara, president of Ala. “Today, 50 million passengers board the plane without carry-on baggage” and, with this decision, “they should start paying for services they do not need.” Given the current situation, the question of whether consumers will continue to pay to carry their carry-on baggage on the plane remains unanswered. Despite million-dollar fines and new regulations that encourage companies to include this service for free, the legal battle always open.
The employers’ association, which represents these four airlines, stressed that the ban on this practice could have effects on the Spanish tourist economy by becoming a shock for tourists who will have to pay “for services which they do not have no need” when traveling. .in the country. In this context, they believe that between the 30% and the 40% of passengers travel without a carry-on suitcase, only with the included bag. “We run the risk that some of these 50 million passengers will stop benefiting from payment only for essential services and opt for other destinations, with consequences for the GDP, employment and air connectivity of our country “, he warned. .
Therefore, the ALA advocates that Spain adheres to what the European Commission (EC) dictates, which has already recommended that airlines unify their baggage policies and emphasizes that if a country takes such measures ” unilaterally”, this can lead to “a competitive disadvantage”. and a bit of chaos.” Gándara also pointed out that employers view these sanctions as “a interference with market freedom and European regulations.
On the other hand, he indicated that “all they can do” for/with Consumption is to see “how this operation can be done in a more transparent way”, but that “of course” they are ready to do it and they start available to the Ministry so that “all this is better understood and known so that it does not appear that a practice is being implemented when in reality it is not.” In this sense, the employers’ association described as “unfortunate” and “hasty” the fact that certain institutions, such as consumer associations, are encouraging customers to start complaining about the additional costs applied by certain airlines for traveling with hand baggage and other alleged irregularities committed in the airline sector, since they assure that this sanction “it’s not firm“.
