Italy’s Antitrust Authority (Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato) opened an investigation on 26 May 2026 into easyJet Airline Company Limited (LON:EZJ) concerning alleged unfair business practices related to baggage and sports equipment check‑in.
The airline’s website and mobile app default to a bundled baggage option for round‑trip journeys, displaying only the average service price even when a passenger selects the service for a single leg.
The probe will examine whether these bundling practices breach Italian consumer‑protection regulations.

Listed Companies and Sectors
The investigation directly involves easyJet, a major carrier in the European aviation sector; potential regulatory findings could affect other airlines operating in Italy.
