Ryanair slammed over Belfast sign
20.04.08
Ryanair has angered the DUP by running an advertisement that signposts Belfast under an Irish Tricolour. MP Gregory Campbell said the advert, on the airline's website, was a step too far 'even for a company with a reputation for colourful and controversial marketing'.
Mr Campbell said the budget airline was being offensive to customers from within the unionist community. He added: ‘They have gone from budget to barmy in this instance.’
Ryanair's response, however, was typically combative – disregarding Mr Campbell's point about Northern Ireland's status as a region of the UK in order to plug its latest discount flight offer. We have chosen not to publish it, as we do not want to give the airline any more free publicity.
