Vueling fined 90,000 euros
for not facilitating access to people with disabilities
By
22 March 2024
The National
Court of Spain has upheld a fine of €90,000 against Vueling Airlines for
failing to provide adequate accessibility for people with disabilities on its
website.
Despite
Vueling’s appeals, the Court affirmed the seriousness of the violation and the
proportionality of the penalty, which includes a prohibition from accessing
official aid for six months. The Court emphasised the airline’s minimal
progress in addressing accessibility issues over time, underscoring the
significant impact on potential clients with disabilities. Despite Vueling’s
claims of good faith, the Court ruled that the sanctions were justified due to
the continued violation and lack of corrective action.
