Not the first time he has suggested Wizz are on borrowed time but as Ryanair's biggest direct competitor, its hardly surprising is it? What better way to get people to book Ryanair rather than Wizz on routes where they compete, such as LBA - Bucharest or Warsaw. And of course, such a drop in bookings at a time like this could accelerate any decline in an airline's fortunes. Clever but below the belt.

I do recall though that he claimed Jet2 would go bust some years back. Not his best forecast!

Something tells me quite a few flights will have to be rescheduled or axed.

Especially a 2345 arrival on Thursday from Alicante. Not happening if we have the overnight closure enforce.

It's LBAs decision to close overnight in winter, not the council so nothing they can do about it. LBA still has a winter night movement allowance of 1200 movements. Admittedly, if the CLEUD fails and if the council were stupid enough to enforce it, then a 2345 arrival would have to be a 738, not a MAX.

As far as I know, there will be further runway repairs overnight this winter, but the closure time to enable this is agreed between airport and contractor. That said, Ryanair have previously changed their schedules and no doubt will again.

O'Leary doesn't care, he uses everyone as a foil for his publicity..In reality him and Phil Meeson were good friends..Gotta love him though , some of his speeches on You Tube are absolutely hilarious 😂

All checked in for my flight to Sydney from Manchester via Heathrow. Been waiting for this trip for nearly a year and now tomorrow I'll finally head to Australia and New Zealand!

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
