Ryanair targets vaccinated UK tourists for Spanish summer travel boom

O’Leary reports surge in bookings from Britain and Germany

Ryanair group CEO Michael O'Leary said the airline has seen a surge in summer bookings in the UK and Germany.

British tourists should go ahead and book foreign holidays despite government warnings not to, Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary said, as the airline announced plans to run 80% of its peak summer capacity.

Vaccine rollouts will tame Covid-19 and reopen travel in time for beach holidays, Mr O’Leary predicted as he dismissed recent advice from UK politicians that foreign travel is likely to remain off-limits.
