Ryanair on the runway at Minsk

A screen shot of the first item on Germany’s ARD 20.00 news this evening.

It’s a picture of the Ryanair plane that was forced to land on Sunday in Minsk in Belarus.

On RTE’s Morning Ireland Michael O’Leary referred to the Russians as forcing the aircraft to land. Confusing, to say the least.

Is Michael O’Leary considering this good or bad advertising for Ryanair?
