"We are about to land in Tel Aviv, Palestine." It is the announcement repeated at least twice, made by a young crew member on board a Ryanair flight, which was leaving from Bologna to occupied Palestine. It was founded in 1985 by Irish businessman Tony Ryan.

The announcement, spoken in both Italian and English, that it was landing in Palestine angered some Israeli passengers who clamored for a rectification. Which the young employee of the Irish company, impossible to identify because she had no plate with her name, she would have refused to offer.

The Ryanair Company was founded in 1985 by the Irish businessman Tony Ryan. The news, released by the Irish Mirror, immediately caused comments on the Internet. "I wish I was on that flight when the Ryanair flight attendant announced that the plane's destination is Palestine". Another posted: "This is why I love Ryanair" and added: "Ireland stands with Palestine."

On the other hand, the 'World Israel News' website quoted the Israel TV Channel and wrote: The distraught passengers clamored for the stewardess to apologize. But their request was rejected by crew members and then they were accused of endangering the safety of the flight. One of the passengers said, "We did not buy tickets from this company to hear anti-Israel views."
