It also concludes that the Spanish Air Navigation Law of 1960, which required airlines to include a free check-in bag in their flight fares, is incompatible with EU Regulation 1008\/2008, which guarantees the freedom to charge fees for optional services such as checked baggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/12\/ryanair-expands-aircraft-maintenance-center-in-seville.html\">Ryanair expands its aircraft maintenance center in Seville.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We welcome this ruling by the Spanish Court of Justice confirming the principle of EU law, which allows each airline to exercise its right to determine its own cabin baggage policy. It is essential for the safety, comfort and viability of passengers that airlines can limit cabin baggage allowance depending on the type of aircraft,&#8221; commented Dara Brady, Ryanair&#8217;s Marketing Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ryanair&#8217;s free cabin baggage allowance is adequate to accommodate necessary and important items such as laptops, tablets, cell phones, medicines, as well as valuables. In addition, Ryanair&#8217;s cabin baggage policy is part of our effort to offer optional services and thus have the lowest fares, ideal for all types of passengers and needs,&#8221; added Brady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled
