Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has revealed the bonus his staff receive for identifying oversized bags before they reach the plane – and is weighing up increasing it.
Speaking to Petula Martyn on RTE Radio 1 this morning (21 July), O’Leary confirmed Ryanair staff get a bonus of around €1.50 per bag caught.
“We’re thinking of increasing it, so that we eliminate [oversized bags],” he added.
O’Leary also claimed there was “no chance” of European Parliament proposals allowing passengers to bring a 7kg bag onboard planes for free passing into law because “that amount of bags don’t fit on the aircraft”.
