Airline apologizes after placing innocent man on no-fly list, tattling on him to boss

An airline in Ireland that mistakenly placed an innocent man on a no-fly list, and even contacted the man’s boss about the matter, has apologized for the apparent mix-up, reports show. Airline Ryanair said before Ireland’s High Court that the company “SINCERELY and unreservedly apologised” for wrongly placing Eoin Michael Cahill on a no-fly list over alleged disruptive behavior, Irish newspaper The Journal reported Tuesday, citing court documents. Upon learning of the accusation, Cahill sued the airline for defamation. Cahill was reportedly slated to fly from Dublin to Coppenhagen on the low-budget airline on Jan. 2, but remained in Ireland for work purposes. Cahill works for Jones Engineering Group, and frequently flies for work purposes between Ireland and Denmark, The Journal reported. HOLIDAY TRAVEL TURNS TRAGIC WHEN FLIGHT ATTENDANT DIES IN FRONT OF PASSENGERS MOMENTS BEFORE TAKEOFF Federal police inspect a Ryanair aircraft after the unscheduled landing of the plane at the Berlin International Airport in Schoenefeld near Berlin, Germany, Monday, Mai 31, 2021.
