The IAA was criticised by air traffic controllers. I believe a Dutch company, KRO, recorded the documentary saying that the IAA was criticised by air traffic controllers and others for prematurely issuing a response which essentially found no wrongdoing on a particular airline's part with regard to safety concerns. This documentary referred to Ryanair. One of the safety concerns was that captains were pressured to bring the minimum amount of fuel legally required to save money. Were those concerns ever addressed or investigated? Does that same safety concern still arise today? What are the witnesses' views on those safety issues?
