Air safety record speaks for itself

WE wish to respond to Tim Collins’s letter (‘Airline’s quick turnaround raises safety fears’, September 24).

The two recent depressurisation incidents on Ryanair flights are being fully investigated, although it is already clear the crew in both cases handled them in strict accord with our approved safety procedures.

These two incidents should be put in the context of an airline that operates more than 1,100 daily flights, or more than 400,000 flights each year. Since both incidents demonstrated Ryanair’s absolute commitment to safety, they could not, and should not, be cited in ignorance to query either our safety or our procedures.
