Meanwhile, Ryanair has been creating some tear-inducing literature of its own. Arriving on its website last week went this notice: "One of the repercussions of recent tragic events in the United States has been a substantial increase in insurance costs for airlines. In particular, a special levy of $1.25 (€1.36) per passenger journey (i.e. $2.50 on a return trip) has been levied on all air travellers with immediate effect. This levy is grossly unfair in that the same amount is being levied on all passengers, regardless of whether they are fat cat business people paying £10,000 on a first-class long-haul flight, or price-sensitive passengers of Ryanair who are flying from Dublin to London for as low as £9.99 (€12.68) one way."
