Good morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of business, the financial markets and the world economy.
Budget airline Ryanair is facing an investigation of the charges that parents must pay to sit with their children on flights.
Ryanair’s terms and conditions require at least one parent to sit with their children aged 2-11 when they fly. This is done through what Ryanair calls a “mandatory family seat”, which the parent must pay for in order to secure a seat next to them for their child.
For all other passengers, reserving a seat is optional. This fee applies to both outbound and return flights and typically costs around £8 each way. CMA evidence suggests this approach to seating is used across the majority of Ryanair’s UK routes.
