built 274 days ago
Ryanair said late last month that it had sent a written apology to the president with a promise not to publish the ad again and an offer to donate the equivalent of $7,400 to his favorite charity. It made a similar offer to Bruni _ plus a symbolic euro _ but rejected her claim for more than $741,000 as "totally unjustified."

Ryanair's advertising has been considered offensive, occasionally even finding sanction from the courts.[23][24][25]. Ryanair was ordered by courts to pay damages to Carla Bruni, and French president Nicolas Sarkozy for using their images in advertising without permission [26].

Nicolas Sarkozy (French president) Carla Bruni (France's first lady) win a court case against Ryanair for using a photograph of them in a Ryanair advert without their consent. French Judge Louis-Marie Raingeard awards Bruni 60 000 euros and Sarkozy a symbolic 1 euro.
