Romanian insolvent airline Blue Air won the lawsuit against the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC) for the first fine of EUR 2 mln the company was given last summer, Ziarul Financiar reported. A second EUR 2 mln fine was issued in October for similar reasons.
ANPC fined Blue Air a record amount of EUR 2 mln in July for the first time for cancelling over 11,000 flights between April 30, 2021 – April 30, 2022. Blue Air claimed that the fine was illegal and discriminatory.
The District 1 Court decided on May 25 to reduce the fine to EUR 20,000.
ANPC issued a second EUR 2 mln fine for Blue Air, claiming that over 150,000 consumers from 23 European Union member states were affected.
