EU airlines urge hard line response to Brexit, says Ryanair CE
Major continental European airlines are actively lobbying their govts to make the UK aviation sector’s exit from the EU difficult, the CE of Ryanair said Wednesday. Michael O’Leary claimed that carriers such as Air France and Lufthansa would be happy to see services disrupted between the UK and the rest of Europe for a period of weeks or months, in order to damage UK carriers such as British Airways and EasyJet. The damage suffered by major European carriers if there was a major disruption of flights would be relatively small, but much more extensive for UK airlines, O’Leary said. Those would include Ryanair, which has a major network of routes between the UK and the rest of Europe. <br/>
