URGENT NEWS: Air Transport live at Westminster

The House of Commons Transport Select Committee has requested at very short notice a comprehensive aviation group of people to appear before it on Wednesday morning 3 March, but no British airline representatives.  Ryanair’s chief executive Michael O’Leary has been included.  That airline’s fleet of over 450 planes has only one UK registered aircraft. Ryanair is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
