Ryanair received another defeat against competitor Wizzair in court in Hungary. After an injunction was issued, which prohibited the use of the Buzz brand due to a risk of confusion, the competent court has now upheld the decision.
According to the ruling, against which Ryanair has an appeal, is the use of the Buzz brand and the Internet domain www.buzzair.com prohibited on the Hungarian market. The likelihood of confusion would be too high. The Hungarian court largely endorsed Wizzair's motion and thwarted Ryanair's counter-arguments.
The procedure is still a little amusing, because the base is operated by Buzz, but all flights are still marketed as Ryanair. Only the registration of the Boeing 737-800 is Polish, the crews wear uniforms with the Buzz logo and indicate that this carrier will carry it out. Even the security cards still have the Ryanair Sun logo on them. It can be assumed that the Irish group will not let the Hungarian judgment sit on them and will appeal.
