Ryanair ditches SOAP in toilets

Scandal-hit Ryanair has been accused of putting passengers’ health at risk after scrapping soap in toilets on flights. 

Disgusted passengers claim they have been unable to wash their hands in the on-board bathrooms, with staff telling them soap is no longer deemed an ‘essential’.

Many criticised the budget airline for failing to provide soap despite serving food, while another said: ‘So you’ve run out of again…when I run out of soap I go the shop and spend £1 on some – spent over £100 for the flight.’

This comes as the beleaguered airline was slammed for cancelling some 700,000 flight bookings and more than 20,000 flights over the winter. 

Passengers have taken to social media to vent their fury at the lack of on-board hygiene.

Writing on Twitter, Ed Rowlands wrote: ‘So you’ve run out of again…when I run out of I go the shop and spend a quid on some – spent over 100quid for the flight.’

Kay Leedham-Green‏ added: ‘Sooo… the air hostess on Ryanair tells me “we no longer stock the toilets with soap” and they’re serving food. #ecoli #cdiff #Ryanair’

Ian Harman‏ tweeted: ‘Ryanair great flight back from Bratislava, no soap in the toilets. Disgusting! Thank God I had hand sanitizer!’

And Mike Hills said: ‘New low for Ryanair? No soap in toilet, reported to staff, reply: “we don’t have soap on this flight”!’

Earlier this month Ryanair’s chief executive Michael O’Leary sent an extraordinary letter to current pilots, begging them to stay and offering them better pay and working conditions than at rival airlines. 

The airline is struggling to rebuild its reputation after its shock announcement last month that it would cancel hundreds of thousands of flights.

It says it was forced to do that because it ‘messed up’ its holiday rota, resulting in a shortage of pilots as too many took they holiday towards the end of the year. 

Ryanair has been contacted for comment.
