Safety Investigation at Ryanair
15 February 2006
The French government is reported as saying that it would consult with civil-aviation authorities in Ireland and the United Kingdom over allegations made in a television documentary that Irish airline Ryanair Holdings PLC has been lax in respecting safety rules.
The Transport Minister said he asked the French civil-aviation authority DGAC to get in touch with its Irish and U.K. counterparts on the matter.
The documentary alleged Ryanair has been guilty of lapses in safety standards and that its staff is overworked and undertrained. Ryanair has rejected the allegations.
