Ryanair is taking full advantage of the US election, pushing a series of marketing campaigns taking the mick out of the two Presidential candidates.

The airline launched a sale in the US with emails and adverts poking fun at Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as the country goes to the polls today.

The low-cost airline's cheeky messages to customers caught the eyes of customers. They included: "Even Hillary wouldn't delete our email offers!" a jab at the Democratic candidate's embarrassing investigation by the FBI into her private email servers.

Adverts on the website today showed Donald Trump with a pained expression and pointing a finger angrily with the caption "Down with low fares, down with high walls" and "only thing lower than our fares… Hillary's chances in Alabama."

Yesterday the boss of Ryanair waded into the debate over Theresa May's trip to India, saying she should stop "faffing about" with trade deals and get on with working out Brexit.

Michael O'Leary told the BBC that business was booming as he announced raised passenger growth forecasts in the latest set of results.
