Unite comment on Ryanair chief’s plans to axe checked-in luggage
24 June 2009
Unite national officer for civil air transport, Steve Turner,
said: "Creating the impression that passengers can carry their own
luggage onto the hold of a plane beggars belief. This is not
possible for a number of reasons, security being the main one.
"The Ryanair chief’s suggestion that passengers can ‘bring
unlimited bags as long as they can get them through security’ is
totally unviable as the overhead cabinets are limited to a maximum
weight for the safety of passengers and staff.
"This is just another half-cooked plan by Ryanair which has not
been thought through."
