RYANAIR has apologised "unreservedly" to Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the founder of easyJet, over advertising depicting him as a liar. Ryanair suggested that Sir Stelios had failed to tell the truth about easyJet's punctuality. The libel suit was settled out of court, with Ryanair paying Sir Stelios's costs and £50,100 (to be donated to charity), and taking out adverts in the Daily Telegraph and the Guardian, the newspapers in which the offending adverts had been placed.
