Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has suggested the army be drafted in to help resolve widespread disruption that has hit airports in recent weeks and months.
The budget airline chief executive told ITV news “defence personnel with experience providing security” should be sent to airports to prevent the lengthy queues and delays that have peaked this week. He has suggested the armed forces' help is needed over the next “three to four months”.
Mr O'Leary said: "Bringing in the army, which they do at many other European airports, would, at a stroke, relieve the pressure on airport security and would mean that people have a much better experience – not just this weekend, but for each weekend over the next three, four months."
