Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary claimed Rachel Reeves “hasn’t a clue” about how to generate growth in aviation.

Mr O’Leary said the British Chancellor should scrap air passenger duty (APD) rather than “waffle on” about Heathrow expansion, which he described as “a dead cat” that would not happen before the 2040s at the earliest.
