✈️ Ryanair launched "Travel Agent Direct" (TAD) in May 2025, granting over 9,000 Spanish travel agencies access to its inventory without surcharges, except promotional fares. This aims to establish stable relations with agencies following past conflicts. The airline also ceased its controversial booking verification process, which faced GDPR-related complaints. Ryanair's approach towards agencies began in March 2024 with a partnership with Grupo Viajes El Corte Inglés, enhancing ticket sales via conventional networks and Logitravel.

UGT and USO celebrate the ruling for upholding union freedom and equality.
