Ryanair steals the headlines

RYANAIR once again stole the headlines last week with plans to cut services for the winter at Stansted and Dublin, its two largest bases.  CEO Michael O’Leary’s figure of 40% was challenged by the airport authority who said that on a like for like basis it would be just 14%.  Mr O’Leary blamed the reduction in flights on both BAA and the government citing the airport pricing increase and what he called Mr Brown’s tourist tax, universally hated.  The airline also published its so-called vote on the standing room only idea.  There is no way of verifying the figures which have been described as “fanciful”.  Sadly some media take any Ryanair pronouncement on face value.  AERBT does not. www.ryanair.com
