Ryanair apologises for 'Tel Aviv in Palestine' flight row
The Chief executive of airline Ryanair has apologised after a Flight Attendant announced that the Israeli city of Tel Aviv was in Palestine.
Eddie Wilson told Jewish Human Rights group the Simon Wiesenthal Center it was an " innocent mistake".
Some passengers complained, and The Row gathered momentum after The Flight .
Mr Wilson said that he had written to the Israeli ambassador in Ireland, adding that Israel was " an important partner" for Ryanair.
On 10 June, on a flight from Bologna to Tel Aviv, a junior Cabin Crew member " innocently but inexplicably" announced that The Flight would soon be landing in Palestine, Mr Wilson.
Mr Wilson said that Ryanair was "100% satisfied that This Was an innocent mistake with no political overtones or intent".
After The Announcement , which was made in Italian and English, several passengers complained, and " continued to be abusive" even after the Cabin Crew apologised, He Said .
Police had to be called to meet the aircraft when it landed, Mr Wilson said.
The use of the name Palestine in place of modern day Israel represents non-recognition of the Jewish state and is seen as highly provocative by most Israelis.
Following The Flight , The Row gained momentum. Some Israeli media commentators called for Israelis to boycott the airline if an apology was not made.
Mr Wilson said that Israel was an " important partner" for Ryanair, adding that it was Israel's second-largest airline.
" We plan to invest in Israel to grow traffic and connectivity both for Israelis travelling to Europe and also to bring much-needed inbound tourism to Israel, " He Said .
In a the Simon Wiesenthal Center said it had received " numerous complaints" about The Incident .
It said after The Announcement passengers had asked for a correction, which was refused.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper , Simon Wiesenthal Center Associate dean, said: " How would Ryanair react if their Flight Attendant on a flight to Dublin announced multiple times that passengers would soon be arriving in the UK? "
He added: " Everyone is entitled to their opinions but not to alternative facts. "
