...But Look Who Has Other Ideas!

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary rubbished Boris Johnson’s quarantine plans yesterday as the budget airline vowed to “get Europe flying again” from July.

The outspoken Irishman slammed the Prime Minister’s 14-day isolation for those arriving in the UK as “idiotic”.

And he said Britons want to get away – despite warnings it is unlikely foreign holidays will be possible this summer.

Ryanair plans to return to 40 per cent of normal flight schedules from July 1, subject to virus restrictions.

It will run about 1,000 flights a day – up from 30 a day now – to restore 90 per cent of its network.

Mr O’Leary said: “We’re over the peak. What we need is effective measures and in air travel this will involve masks and temperature checks.

“They’re not going to involve measures that have no public support like lockdown, isolation. They’re unimplementable anyway.
