The carrier’s push to get aeroplanes back in the air clashes with says from UK health secretary Matt Hancock, who said Britons were unlikely to be going on holiday abroad in 2020. O’Leary said practical measures to resume travel should be worked out over the next several weeks. “The UK 14-day isolation is nonsense,” O’Leary said. “There’s no scientific basis for it whatsoever.”
Ryanair said it would restart flights from most of its bases, and will offer seats starting from €20 one-way. Service will feature fewer checked bags, online check-ins and boarding passes that can be downloaded to smartphones, the airline said.The UK quarantine cast doubt on the reopening plans of other grounded European airlines as well. British Airways owner IAG has said it will have to review its goal to gear back up starting in July.
