Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has launched a searing attack on a Global Travel Taskforce set up by Boris Johnson with the aim of allowing millions of Britons to jet off on overseas holidays this summer.
Mr O Leary warned that the Prime Minister s efforts to reopen borders are likely to falter until millions of vaccinations are administered across the continent. The taskforce is meant to issue a report on a return to international travel by April 12, with reopening pencilled in for as early as May 17.
