Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has apologised for referring to people in connection with high fares as “high-fare rapists”. He described his choice of words as “careless”.
O’Leary said: “It won’t happen again.” No further details about the circumstances of the remarks or the response to them were provided in the supplied material.
The apology addresses the language used by the Ryanair chief and acknowledges that the phrase was inappropriate. The latest position is that O’Leary has withdrawn the wording and committed to avoiding a repeat.
