Ryanair chief does a business class U-turn

I WISH rather bemused by Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary’s recent comments about ‘fat cat’ business travellers.

Following the Stern report on climate change last November, he was attacked for saying “the little damage caused by aviation could be reduced by banning business class”.

He was further quoted as stating: “We should outlaw business class traffic. We should pack them into economy class rather than having the fat and overfed business class travellers who flew around in flat-bed seats farting and burping, after their fine wines and haute cuisine.”
