The Ryanair boss has warned that delays and cancelled flights will continue 'throughout summer', with shortages of airport staff being cited as the main cause of the issues.
Michael O’Leary, who is the chief executive of the budget airline, says that delays could last across the peak season and customers should prepare to receive a “less than satisfactory experience”. He also said that some airlines will cancel between 5% and 10% of flights.
Speaking to Sky News, he said this was 'deeply regrettable'. Mr O'Leary said: “This problem is going to continue particularly at airports like Gatwick and Heathrow right throughout the summer. It will be worse at weekends and better during the week.”
