Tui Respond to Ryanair

Tui UK has responded to Ryanair claims that it had screen scraped the latter's web site.
Ryanair had stated yesterday that the English High court had approved a 'Cease and Desist Agreement' signed by Tui UK on March 26 whereby Tui had agreed not to make bookings on the Ryanair web site.
However Tui said that it had never conducted screen scraping. It said it had offered customers a service whereby it would book flights on behalf of the customers on the Ryanair web site. It added that the service had been availed of by a very small number of customers and when the matter was highlighted by Ryanair it had decided to stop the practice. 'As a result Tui  did not feel that it was worthwhile contesting legal proceedings on the issue and was happy to sign an undertaking not to make any further bookings for customers on the Ryanair web site.'
