What Ryanair Boss Michael O'Leary Said on Twitter Today


Skift Take

Well, at least O'Leary didn't have a problem maintaining his "voice" on Twitter. He probably didn't do much to appease Ryanair's detractors, but at least he was out there on social media getting involved a bit.

Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair hasn't been active on Twitter for long, but the airline has already given social media watchers a wonderful gift: One hour of inspired tweeting today by its outspoken CEO, Michael O'Leary.

Using the hashtag #GrillMOL, Ryanair customers and others had a chance to sound off to the man in charge about the airline's lousy customer service reputation, and to ask O'Leary about everything from the possibility of child-free zones on board Ryanair aircraft to charging overweight people extra.

O'Leary answered no to both ideas.

He also responded a few times that the airline's 81 million customers are proof that Ryanair responds to passengers' needs despite plenty of tweets to the contrary.

And, O'Leary did make a bit of news, promising that a digital relaunch is in the works.

Here's a sampling of some the questions and O'Leary's retorts:
