Michael O’Leary is not someone to let an inconvenient truth obstruct a higher public relations mission. The “unacceptable face of capitalism”, as Mr O’Leary’s Irish critics have dubbed Ryanair’s chief executive, has launched a salvo against airport fees in the UK generally and BAA in particular, which owns Stansted, Ryanair’s UK base. Because they are high, Mr O’Leary is slashing winter flights and moving jets elsewhere.
