Ryanair accuses Google of profiting from misleading ads

Airline launches broadside over fact that eDreams, a travel booking firm, is displayed first on Google searches for Ryanair

Ryanair has launched a new broadside against Google in its battle with other websites selling its flights, accusing the internet firm of profiting at the expense of consumers through misleading adverts and paid-for search results.

The airline called on businesses in the UK and Europe to stand up to Google over practices that it claims breach trust, confuse customers and make firms lose out.
