Thousands of airline passengers have been dealt a further blow today after Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary said he will defy rules on paying full compensation for stranded travellers.
The budget carrier warned customers it will not be held liable for their hotel and restaurant bills after state agencies across Europe shut down airspace for six days and he would wait for his day in court and only reimburse travellers the original price of their air fare and no more, totally against strict EU consumer rules.
