Ryanair issued a statement on Friday in response to criticism it has faced for not removing a white man who refused to sit next to a black woman on a flight from Barcelona to London last week.
In the statement, Ryanair stressed that it only became aware of the video of the incident last Saturday and immediately reported it to police.
“We again extend our very sincere apologies to this passenger for the regrettable, and unacceptable remarks that were made to her by an adjacent passenger, and we believe that by reporting this matter immediately to the Essex Police and by apologising in writing to this customer early on Sunday morning, Ryanair treated it with the urgency and seriousness it warranted," the airline's head of communications, Robin Kiely, said.
"We trust that this statement will address the inaccurate media coverage of this incident over recent days, and that the legal rights of both passengers will be respected, while the Police services in Essex and Barcelona conduct their investigation of this matter, with Ryanair’s full cooperation and assistance.”

The European Commission announced on Friday that it has opened an in-depth investigation into marketing and financial deals between Ryanair and Germany's Frankfurt-Hahn airport to assess whether it constituted illegal state aid.
Under the deal, Ryanair received between 2009 and 2017 training aid and funding for a crew and pilot school and for a maintenance hall, the Commission said.
