Voli e bagagli, ora è scontro Vettori contro le imposizioni

🛫 Spain's Ministry of Social Rights and 2030 Agenda imposes a €179 million fine on low-cost airlines Ryanair, Vueling, easyJet, Norwegian Air, and Volotea for abusive practices concerning hand luggage policies.

The European Commission has urged airlines to unify luggage policies, while IATA supports airlines, arguing that charging for hand luggage offers consumer choice.
