The boss of Ryanair has hit out at the UK and Irish governments’ handling of the coronavirus crisis, telling Sky News there is a “greater danger of catching COVID in Bolton than Barcelona”. Michael O’Leary used an Ian King Live interview to describe Boris Johnson’s performance as “lamentable” amid deep frustration in the aviation sector over shifting restrictions imposed to control the spread of the virus – rules, the industry argues, that are killing passenger demand. He said that Ireland was “by far the worst” and that the country – the company’s home market – was effectively “closed for business” given the severity of its Covid-19 quarantine regime.
