From suggesting in-flight pornography to dressing up as Batman’s sidekick Robin, outspoken Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has astutely used his media profile to generate publicity and further the growth of his business. But a year ago the airline found itself grabbing headlines in a way it couldn’t control after it cancelled more than 700,000 bookings, prompting the kind of ire that not even its notoriously cheap fares could outweigh. The incident provides a suitable take-off point for Irish journalist Matt Cooper to “lift the veil” on O’Leary in this compelling biography.
