Irish budget airline Ryanair officially brought legal proceedings against Channel 4 for its Dispatches programme, ‘Ryanair: Secrets of the Cockpit’ on Sunday through Johnsons Solicitors.
The company released a statement which confirmed it was issuing defamation proceedings in the High Court of Dublin against Channel 4/ Blakeway Productions as well as Associated Newspapers (MailOnline) and Mirror Group.
The company has also issued a writ of summons against the Belfast Telegraph in Northern Ireland.
The statement continued: We have been instructed to vigorously prosecute these libel proceedings with a view to securing total vindication of Ryanair’s industry-leading safety reputation, following the broadcast and publication of outrageous and totally unfounded allegations regarding my client’s attitude towards safety.
“Ryanair is justifiably proud of its 29 year safety record, which has been fully endorsed by the Irish Aviation Authority and other European Regulators, and which has been independently verified as being “on a par with the safest airlines in Europe”.
