A non-binary passenger has sued Ryanair for \u00a34,200 in damages after the airline’s website failed to provide a gender-neutral title option during booking.<\/p>\n

The customer was attempting to book a return flight from Berlin to Gran Canaria in October 2021 when they discovered they could only select from gendered options.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To the user’s dismay, the website offered only Herr (Mr), Frau (Mrs) or Fr\u00e4ulein (Miss) titles.<\/p>\n

It has remained unclear whether the passenger proceeded with the booking despite the lack of appropriate options.<\/p>\n

After Ryanair refused to reach an out-of-court settlement, the complaint will now be heard by the Berlin state court, where the passenger is seeking financial compensation.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the passenger wants the airline to update its booking platform to include gender-neutral title options for future customers.<\/p>\n

GB News has approached Ryanair for comment.<\/p>\n

In 2019, the International Air Transport Association released guidance for airlines wishing to offer non-binary gender options for passengers.<\/p>\n

That same year, United Airlines became the first US carrier to provide customers with non-binary options when booking flights.<\/p>\n
