'Ryanair to highlight green credentials'

Tabnabs

Ah, this will make you smile, especially given MOL's fondness for berating the "green agenda"

Ryanair is set to highlight its green credentials in future communications, despite a somewhat dismissive attitude to environmentalists and green issues to date.

The company said it is developing a plan “that will help us to highlight our green credentials while also staying true to our low fares messaging”.

“We have recently been found to be the world’s greenest airline and while we are not that bothered about it, as airlines count for less than 2pc of global CO2 emissions, we think some passengers might want to know,” said the airline. “We may even launch our first series of TV adverts about it in the coming months.”

In the past, Michael O’Leary has described environmentalists as ‘lying ****’ ‘headbangers’ and ‘Luddites’ and said the best thing to do with them would be to “shoot them”.
