Airline passenger news and views

It can be hard to read Ryanair’s outspoken CEO Michael O'Leary. There is more than a suspicion that he says and does things knowing that they will create waves whilst subscribing to the ‘no such thing as bad publicity’ school of thought.

The ensuing libel action is due to be heard at the High Court later this summer. One assumes that the press will be invited.
