An aviation industry insider has said that Irish owned low cost airline "Ryanair" is putting passengers lives at risk. A quote taken from a well known aviation website stated that "what they do is let passengers buy tickets and then put them on aeroplanes". It is believed competitors are trying to stop this saying that "over the years there have been a series of accidents where passengers have got on aircraft and aircraft have crashed". He said "to allow Ryanair to put people at risk like this, for fares much more competitive than ours is simply unacceptable".

Other alleged practises include flying with only one engine on to save fuel, flying with only one pilot to cut employment overheads, disregarding ATC instructions and flying where and when they want, and not providing passengers with a 5 star hotel if they flight is delayed more than 1 hour.

Cut the Ryanair this, Ryanair that C*&p. If you have a serious grievance you think should be addressed report it to the IAA or CAA, not on PPRUNE.
