Ryanair in London

RYANAIR boss Michael O’Leary was in London on Friday (2 October) to brief his shareholders and used the opportunity later in the day to secure valuable column inches with the media.  Michael was in fine form, his act (thankfully) toned down, haranguing British Airways and easyJet in about equal quantities and forecasting that Aer Lingus would be handed to him on a plate by the Irish government within 18 months.  He intended to hold on to his cash pile on the assumption of buying new aircraft for 2013 delivery onwards and made out a case for the introduction of passports as part of the boarding requirement. See next story.  Readers might not be aware that when buying Ryanair promotional tickets they need not necessarily have to pay a debit card charge.  Michael then rushed off to vote for Europe in the Irish referendum, claiming not to have changed his mind, and saying for the first time in his life he was supporting the government with a YES! www.ryanair.com
