Ryanair today (Tuesday, 11th May 2004) guaranteed that there would be no fuel surcharges or price rises for Ryanair passengers this year.

Speaking this afternoon, as British Airways and Qantas became the first of the high fare carriers to introduce fuel surcharges, Ryanair Chief Executive, Michael O'Leary, said:

"As usual, the first instinct of BA and other high fare
airlines is to gouge passengers. It is unfair that passengers who have already bought and paid for tickets should now have to pay surcharges, after all British Airways didn't offer these passengers refunds when fuel prices were falling over the past 5 years.

"At Ryanair, we believe that the low fare you pay is all
you should pay, and we guarantee that every passenger who books their summer holiday with Ryanair can do so free of any price rises or fuel surcharges.

"At Ryanair, we believe in Low Prices - Today, Tomorrow
and Forever. British Airways are just a bunch of Gougers!".

Verissimo, quando il prezzo del carburante cala le compagnie ad alta tariffa non fanno pagare la riduzione carburante, mentre quando aumenta allora sono prontissime a introdurre l'odioso supplemento.

Grande FR, grande Michael!!!!!
