Ryanair threatens to stop local flights in Italy

It seems to be over a dispute about what type of ID can be used for check-ins:

Ryanair is threatening to stop domestic flights in Italy starting next month amid a dispute with the country's authorities over new rules on ID documents that passengers can show at airport gates.

...Last month, Italy's civil aviation authority, known by the acronym ENAC, ordered airlines to accept driving licenses, government badges, fishing and hunting licenses and other documents to identify passengers at boarding gates for domestic flights.

Irish airline Ryanair Holdings on Thursday reached a deal with Italian aviation authorities to resolve a row over check-in documents, averting the cancellation of some flights within Italy.

...Under the deal, passengers will have to produce either a passport or a European Union/European Economic Area national identity card on all flights, the low-cost airline said. Tourist-heavy Italy is one of Ryanair's top markets.
