Ryanair slates Panorama ‘hatchet job’

RYANAIR boss Michael O’Leary believes the BBC’s investigative Panorama programme is to broadcast a “hatchet job” on the Irish airline tonight.

“BBC Panorama know that they have no case in this hatchet job programme. We have already rubbished their false claims about hidden charges and an agreement with Airbus.

“It is a pity that Panorama, with all their resources, investigative journalists and the power of the BBC, were not honest enough to agree to a live or an unedited interview with Ryanair, which would have provided Panorama’s viewers with balance and facts, instead of Panorama’s false claims and fiction,” Mr O’Leary said yesterday.
