Ryanair CEO Apologizes for 'Rapists' Remark | Belfast News

Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary has issued a full apology after calling rival airlines “rapists” — a remark that deeply offended survivors of sexual violence. Initially defending the language as appropriate, he later admitted it caused “considerable upset and offense,” and now says he’s “sincerely and unreservedly” sorry, specifically addressing victims.
