The regulator stated that Ryanair implemented specific actions to stop travel agencies from purchasing tickets on its website when combined with flights from other airlines or travel services.

The AGCM identified these violations to have taken place between April 2023 and April 2025. The regulator calculated that Ryanair operates 38 to 40 percent of flights to and from Italy.

Since the start of 2025, Ryanair's market value has risen by 54.5%, reaching €31.04 billion.
