Ryanair deals ‘perfectly’ with snow penis picture
Ryanair’s communications team had been praised for the way it reacted when its ground handling staff were caught on camera drawing a giant penis in the snow at Dublin Airport.
The photo, taken by a waiting passenger, was tweeted and retweeted, and shared on Facebook, and was quickly picked up by the media across the world.
When contacted for a response to the online furore, Ryanair’s communications chief Robin Kiely quipped: "While our ground crew excel at industry leading 25 minute turnarounds, art isn’t their forte, as they’ve clearly forgotten to draw wings on their snow airplane."
It was described by many in the media world as the perfect public relations response.
