Ryanair profits rise (but so do reports of dangerous landings)

Welcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Travel Daily today reports that Ryanair is to open it’s 19th base in Dusseldorf, Germany as Ryanair’s growth continues. However there have several alleged dangerous landings by Ryanair craft, the most recent where flying very low on approach to landing triggered two cockpit alarms and led to complaints by local residents. The pilots’ union claims that Ryanair’s cost saving 25 minute turnaround time can put pilots under too much pressure.

This just re-inforces my concerns about low prices and the constant competitive pressures which could lead to corner cutting. What price do you put on safety?
