Ryanair is one of Ireland's most iconic success stories, and as the airline turns 40, a new documentary, "Turbulence: The Story of Ryanair," dives into its turbulent and triumphant history.
Kathryn Thomas is joined in studio by the documentary's writer and director, Aisling Browne, and via line by Michael Corcoran, Ryanair's former Head of Social Media. They discuss the early days of the airline, the pivotal role of Michael O'Leary, and how Ryanair's "edgy" social media presence became a global phenomenon by breaking all the traditional corporate rules.
