U.K.’s watchdog to investigate Ryanair’s “Jab & Go” advertising

Share

The Advertising and Standards Authority (ASA) is investigating Irish budget airline Ryanair after a recent campaign showing a syringe and a vaccine bottle inviting passengers to simply “Jab & Go”, accompanied by a promotion deal.  

ASA has received more than 1,600 complaints about the advert. Some complainers argued that the advert is misleading customers into thinking the vaccine would be rolled out across the population by Summer 2021 and that travel restrictions won’t apply by then, others are suggesting that the advert is trivialising the pandemic on individuals and society.

The ASA will now investigate and decide whether the advert breaks its guidelines.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
