TV review: Turbulence an excellent look at the drama of Irish aviation

A documentary always has a view, and this one likes the airline in blue. Poor Aer Lingus comes across as a pearl-clutching aunt.

Turbulence The Story of Ryanair on RTÉ One & RTÉ Player

They read out a letter from Michael O’Leary on Turbulence (RTÉ One & RTÉ Player). It’s addressed to the makers of this excellent two-part documentary on Ryanair, politely declining to take part with the acerbic observation that an examination of Ryanair’s role in a changing 1990s Ireland would be an exercise in navel-gazing.

Luckily you don’t miss O’Leary much here, because there is no shortage of clips where he says thing like “the customer is nearly always wrong”.
