Michael O'Leary: Turbulent Times for the Man Who Made Ryanair

Matt Cooper

"September 2017, Ryanair cancels over 700,000 bookings and its powerful PR juggernaut comes shuddering to a halt. For once, the airline's aggressive and flamboyant CEO, Michael O'Leary, is contrite and apologetic. A month later Ryanair announces increased passenger traffic for October, year-on-year growth and increased profits. Its share price soars. But questions remain about the causes of the debacle and O'Leary's role in it. Based on extensive research--including with close associates of O'Leary--the book examines O'Leary's personality, beliefs and obsessions and describes how these have moulded the business he runs. Written by a multi-award-winning journalist and broadcaster, with a thirty-year career covering business and current affairs, it is a fascinating insight into the business behind the man, and the man behind the business."--Provided by publisher.
