The reason that Ryanair is against OTAs reselling flights is not the fees, it’s that they’re often resold as a package holiday.

Package holidays are flights bundled with hotels etc and are usually sold at much higher margin.

Ryanair has its own package holiday business and prefers that they make the margin, not someone else.

There are many more package holiday companies than airlines, they want to use this ruling and the fact that they also own an airline to restrict competition and make more money.
