  • That Ryanair/Panorama Correspondence

    Watch out for BBC's Panorama on Ryanair this coming Monday which promises to be an absolute stonker, judging by heated exchange of letters between the programme makers and the airline so far.

    There's a lot to read but stick with it - it gets better as it goes along.

    Interesting, how did you get hold of these emails from Panorama?

    It certainly looks like it will open a can of worms.

      Astonishingly it's all published on the Ryanair site along with this statement:

      BBC Panorama Censors The Truth


      PANORAMA ‘INVESTIGATION’ REFUSES RYANAIR’S INTERVIEW OFFER

      Ryanair, the World’s favourite and Britain’s largest airline, today (9th Oct) accused BBC Panorama of bias and censorship as it purports to ‘investigate’ Ryanair but REFUSES Ryanair’s offer of a live or unedited pre-recorded interview in order to fully reply to Panorama’s false claims.

      Ahead of Monday’s so called Panorama ‘investigation’, Ryanair today published all of its correspondence with the BBC programme which exposes Panorama’s false claims and repeated refusals to allow Ryanair an adequate right of reply.

      So far Panorama’s two main claims that (a) Ryanair has ‘hidden charges’ (when we don’t) and (b) that Ryanair reached an agreement with Airbus in 2001 (we didn’t), have both been proven to be false. All Panorama are left with is a series of subjective claims from a tiny number of disgruntled former employees and alleged passengers, none of which have been substantiated.

      Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said:

      “Ryanair has wasted the last six weeks responding to BBC Panorama’s false claims about Ryanair – which is Britain’s favourite airline carrying 66m passengers this year. Panorama has repeatedly refused Ryanair’s offer of an unedited interview, either live or pre-recorded, because they know that these false claims are rubbish and don’t stand up to scrutiny.

      Ryanair calls on the BBC to explain why Panorama refuses to provide balance in its programming and why licence payers are funding such rubbish filled investigations which don’t stand up to scrutiny, which is why Panorama wouldn’t agree to an unedited interview with Ryanair.”

      Is it any wonder the BBC won't give the foul-mouthed Micheal O'Leary a live and unedited interview who's every sentence begins and ends with f**k?

        After reading through the correspondence I am starting to warm to both Stephen McNamara and Micheal O'Leary.

          You wouldn't if you had to cancel your holiday to N Ireland at short notice because of the small print in their T&Cs.

          They only allow you to travel in the UK with a passport, on their web site it states ID cards are acceptable but its not until you delve into the verbiage that you discover that there is no acceptable UK ID card.

          One holiday and a very disappointed family was the result of these cowboys playing fast and loose with the facts.
