Ryanair criticises Google for lack of action on scraper booking sites

Budget airline says screenscraper websites such as eDreams, which pay to appear top of search engine, charge consumers more

Ryanair has called on Google to take action to protect customers from booking flights with the airline at inflated prices on websites that it claims are masquerading as its own.

In a turn of events that would have appeared unlikely a few years back, the no-frills carrier will champion consumers over what it believes is misleading advertising on Google.
