Updated: 10:22 a.m. on Monday, May 24, 2021 Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary on Monday said Belarus‘ use of a bogus bomb threat to divert one of his commercial flights and arrest an opposition journalist amounted to “state-sponsored hijacking” as European Union leaders and the U.S. debated swift consequences for President Alexander Lukashenko. Belarusian activist Raman Pratasevich was detained after the Ryanair plane in which he was traveling was diverted to Minsk over the weekend because of the supposed threat. No bomb was found, however, and Belarus‘ official press service said Mr. Lukashenko personally ordered a MiG-29 fighter jet to accompany the Ryanair plane through the diverted landing in Minsk. The Irish carrier’s plane had been traveling from Greece to Lithuania.
