Nope
Beagle, while with Ryanair it can be a direct "misstatement" it is more frequently a manipulation of language in which a misleading impression is created. Go read their Press Release carefully .... Yes there were
some delays in aircraft deliveries ... true, and it all hinges on manipulating that fact (and ignoring the real impact of the delivery delays). But they have now denied and confirmed the same claim over the a three day period. I especially liked this claim
In a statement, Ryanair said the false rumour emanated from one of the London investment banks shortly after 7.30 am.
'This rumour was untrue and could have been verified by that bank, had they made any attempt to contact the airline directly, or had they checked Ryanair's flight information page on
www.ryanair.com, which confirmed that all Ryanair's early morning departures from London Luton and Stansted airport had departed as normal and on-time,' the Irish low-cost carrier said.
Good example of what I said above. Note the claim that "all Ryanair's early morning departures from London Luton and Stansted airport had departed as normal and on-time" - which would be a true statement if you had in mind only to have those departures the day before, even if there was a cancellation rate of 50%! (And you get in the "on-time" bit, even if you don't mention that you are using a Ryanair definition of "on-time").
You gotta read and listen to everything they produce with infinite care.
