        This guy's name should be given to to all other airlines. So he can be banned from flying with them. It's the only way to stop this kind of crap

        @Ryanair It is not "unruly behaviour". It is racism. Racism is illegal. Get your house in order and sort these things out. Now.

        And yet @ryanair flight attendants initially denied there was any racial abuse. Then they found out about the recording which made their lies unsustainable

        Acting is great and may help victims in an incident. Filming like this and helping to publicise the issue may shame people into changing things (such as airline guidance) to help future victims. Both are positive actions.

        Why did #Ryanair not take immediate action and remove this objectionable person from the flight?

        Ryanair ASKED ME a for a Schengen Visa when I was flying from Italy to England !My passport clearly states BORN IN LISBON.They couldn’t believe that there’s black Portuguese people. Do not travel with them beyond incompetent & unpleasant staff.Thank you .@Ryanair for the service

        Just another of the many reasons that you'll never see me on a @Ryanair flight. The actions of the crew were really poor in the treatment of an old lady and a disgusting example of a 'man' #badbusiness

        Ryanair shirked any responsibility. If this man hadn’t filmed the incident they’d have swept it under the carpet. @Ryanair ought to be thoroughly ashamed

        @Ryanair You can count on me NEVER flying with your airline! You owe this poor woman an apology and free tickets for her & her daughter to fly anywhere you service. That is the ONLY way to make this right! Until then, I will recommend to@everyone I know to #BoycottRyanair
