In an interview on BBC television this morning, Mr O’Leary said that the low-cost airline was looking at the possibility of installing a coin slot on the lavatory door so that “people might actually have to spend a pound to spend a penny.â€
Rochelle Turner, head of research at Which? Holiday, condemned the proposal.
"It seems Ryanair is prepared to plumb any depth to make a fast buck and, once again, is putting profit before the comfort of its customers,†she said. “Charging people to go to the toilet might result in fewer people buying overpriced drinks on board, though - that would serve Ryanair right.â€
Mr O’Leary said that Ryanair was determined to make air travel easier and more affordable.
“I don’t think there’s anybody in history gone on board a Ryanair flight with less than a pound,†he added.
Later, Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara said: "Michael makes a lot of this stuff up as he goes along and, while this has been discussed internally, there are no immediate plans to introduce it.
