In a HARDtalk interview broadcast on 13th August Stephen Sackur talks to Michael O'Leary, the chief executive of Ryanair.

The last year has seen extraordinary turbulence in the airline industry. Some airlines have already gone bust, others are slashing routes and looking for new partners.

Michael O'Leary is the controversial boss of the airline which revolutionised the European aviation industry with cheap fares and no frills.

But is the Ryanair business model beginning to come unstuck?
