Ryanair issues 7-day ultimatum to Aer Lingus to clarify policy issues
On two occasions in the past month, Ryanair — the largest shareholder in Aer Lingus, holding a 29.8% stake — sent letters to its rival airline’s chairman, Colm Barrington, seeking a meeting to discuss three initiatives originally proposed by Ryanair, but claims that they have gone unanswered.
Ryanair yesterday said that it has sent further communication to Mr Barrington notifying him of its intention to requisition an EGM of Aer Lingus shareholders should he fail to reply within seven days.
