Ryanair has warned that it could permanently reduce some services locally and base more of its operations outside the State if action isn’t taken to protect the aviation sector. Mr Wilson said he wasn’t issuing a threat to the Government, but was warning it of possible business decisions Ryanair may take in the near future. If they [the Government] don’t do something, they are going to miss the boat,” said Mr Wilson. Ryanair has put on 40 extra flights to the Republic for the holiday period, with Mr Wilson saying bookings were relatively strong. Mr Wilson said Ryanair had no plans to insist that passengers have proof of vaccination within the European Union.
