RTÉ documentary on pilot fatigue a sham, says Ryanair

RYANAIR has described last night’s RTÉ documentary on alleged pilot fatigue in the budget airline as a baseless unbalanced sham.

The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) meanwhile said routine and random checks on all airlines, including low-cost ones, had produced no cause for concern in the past year.

The IAA said while it had a policy not to take part in pre-recorded interviews, offers of a live contribution or participation in a panel discussion were rejected by RTÉ.
