What will the implication be from these claims?
Perhaps an attempt to deal with a successful competitor who Ryanair have failed to chase out of town (Jet2) and for Norwegian, how impactful are claims like this?
Absolutely no impact if as people demand these airlines sue, they won't.

Correct in highlighting ineffectiveness of CAA, correct in highlighting the issues with Norwegian, he indicated 2 yrs ago that Norwegian was burning through cash, anazing the press caught up with that idea when Norwegian needed cash all of a sudden, correct in highlighting that shop model for holidays in dead, even TC has only 35% bought in store.

Elements in the press hate Ryanair, for decades it was fares too cheap so they dangerous as don't carry out maintenance (debunked by David Learmont), don't properly train their pilots, pilots on minimum wage, they are Irish so pilots are drunks etc etc.

In the industry Michael O'Leary is generally the "canary in the mine" who is first to highlight issues well in advance for other airlines, in many cases, as I have said here previously by doing it the agenda is changed and opens the door for others to publicly comment.
