Bailiffs have intervened on a Ryanair flight in Austria after the airline failed to comply with a court order to pay compensation for a delayed flight. The airline was ordered to pay €890 to a passenger for legal costs and compensation stemming from an incident two years ago. This action highlights ongoing issues with airlines adhering to compensation regulations.
