Another Useless Report from the Aimless, Useless, Clueless (AUC)

AUC CONFIRMS BRITISH AIRWAYS IS WORST OFFENDER FOR MISSING BAGS
BUT IGNORES THAT RYANAIR IS THE BEST PERFORMER

Ryanair, the UK’s favourite airline, today (20th Feb) called on the AUC to explain why it does not include Ryanair, the airline which is least likely to lose your bag, in its 2007 “delayed baggage” report. The AUC’s so called ‘report’ merely confirms what every British passenger knows already; that British Airways is the worst offending airline for losing baggage.

The AUC’s report plagiarises the AEA’s (the European high fare airline association) consumer report which is totally irrelevant to ordinary UK passengers because it does not include the UK’s two largest airlines, Ryanair and Easyjet which are not members of the AEA.

Speaking today, Ryanair’s Head of Communications, Peter Sherrard said:

“If the AUC was not so absolutely useless and clueless, it would include the UK’s largest airlines in its so called report. Their report ignores that no other major airline matches Ryanair’s performance or the fact that BA passengers are now 40 times more likely to suffer a mislaid bag. The AUC has proved once again that it has no relevance for British airline users”.
