Ryanair sued after bottle hit woman

A woman who has been left with a scar on her nose after a glass bottle fell out of an overhead locker on a Ryanair flight plane and hit her in the face has sued the airline for damages.

Mother of two Victoria Fox told the High Court yesterday she had to cancel her 40th birthday celebrations after she was left with a wound on her nose and bruising around her eyes after the incident last year.

Liability has been conceded in the case, which is before the court for assessment of damages only.
