Ryanair has rejected claims from the British consumer watchdog Which? that it is putting profits above passenger safety and flouting aviation safety guidelines issued by the British authorities. UK guidelines call for airlines to offer a reduced food and drink service and limit the sale of duty-free and other non-essential items. Ryanair also denied it was putting profits before safety, claiming that it charges more for checked in bags than for a second cabin bag. Travel Rory Boland said it was incredibly concerning that airlines “would put the health of their passengers and their own crew at risk by ignoring important government safety guidelines”.
