Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair has apologised after a flight attendant told passengers en route to Tel Aviv they were approaching Palestine.
“All passengers are requested to return to their seats as the plane is about to land in Tel Aviv in occupied Palestine,” the attendant said during the flight on June 10, according to Israeli news channel i24NEWS.The incident led to several complaints from passengers.It “was immediately corrected and apologised for by the senior crew member on board”, the statement said.
“The crew member in question has been spoken to and received a warning to ensure that such an error is never repeated,” Mr Wilson said in a further statement.Some Israeli media commentators had called on Israelis to boycott the airline if an apology was not made. Others questioned whether it was truly an “innocent mistake”.There were similar reactions on Twitter, with one user saying it was “nothing short of anti-Semitic”.
This is not the first time airlines have run into hot water over the region, according to the Middle East Eye.
