Ryanair To Install Vending Machines On Planes
From The Wall Street Journal, March 31, 2010:
Ryanair To Install Vending Machines On Planes
Ryanair Holdings PLC (RYAAY), the no-frills Irish carrier, said it will install vending machines on its 225 planes in an effort to cut costs and lift ancillary revenue.
Ryanair said that the phased installation of vending machines will allow it to reduce its cabin crew teams onboard from four to two who will perform safety announcements and ensures passenger seatbelts are securely fastened.
From June 2010 Ryanair passengers will be able to purchase hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, snacks, ice-cream, condoms and smokeless cigarettes directly from onboard vending machines, the airline said.

Pay loos can't be that far behind.

Edit:
Alright, confirmed April Fools - a bit mean to publish that on April 2nd, with a release date of March 31st
"Watch out not to be replaced by a vending machine!"

Well it might be a nice way to put BA out of business.
