Ryanair criticised 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 has said the advert, on the company's website, was a step too far, 'even for a business with a reputation for colourful and controversial marketing'.
Mr Campbell has accused the budget airline of 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 flight offer. We won't publish their comments, as we don't want to give them any more free publicity.
