Ryanair has sacked its chief pilot after an investigation into his alleged sexual harassment of female colleagues.
The airline told staff that he had been fired for “a pattern of repeated inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour towards a number of female pilots”.
The chief pilot, named in reports as Aidan Murray was appointed in 2020 and had been with the airline for 28 years.
Ryanair declined to comment “on queries relating to individual employees”.
According to The Independent, Mr Murray allegedly harassed eight junior colleagues, including sending text messages to some with comments on their bodies.
Mr Murray, 58, is also accused of altering flight rosters to fly with certain female pilots.
In a note to staff, Ryanair’s chief people officer, Darrell Hughes, said Mr Murray’s employment had been “terminated with immediate effect”.
