Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary was in Norway on Thursday to reject accusations that his low-cost airline treated its employees like slaves, as unions and politicians in the Scandinavian state called for a boycott of the firm.
His trip came as two former stewards prepared to sue the Irish carrier for unfair dismissal and breaching labour laws.
"It was a contract of slavery," said Vegard Einan of the Parat union that is assisting the two women in their lawsuit.
O'Leary, speaking to reporters at Rygge airport, said that his firm fully respected European legislation and that he was the victim of "a series of false claims".
