Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary has claimed ongoing issues at airports around the country are "not huge chaos" despite thousands of passengers facing disruption. The budget airline boss spoke to Sky News about the disruption that has been caused at airports, including in Bristol, in recent weeks.
Passengers have recently experienced long queues around airports due to staffing issues as business returns to normal following the Covid pandemic, with airlines trying to fill the gaps. It has led to lots of flights being either delayed, rescheduled or cancelled, causing holiday headaches for many.
However, in his interview with Sky News, Mr O'Leary asserted "it's not huge chaos". He added that it was "important to keep some context, 99 per cent of flights are getting away" and concluded: "This is part of the recovery of two years of Covid lockdowns."
