O’Leary calls for calm over airport measures

THE Yemeni cargo plane bomb plot should not be allowed to silence calls for an easing of “ludicrous and useless” airport security measures, the boss of budget airline Ryanair said yesterday.

It was ridiculous that the Yemeni incident had prompted Prime Minister David Cameron to attend a Cobra security meeting, added Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary.

He said it was “madness” that “some Yemeni terrorist” could disrupt Western aviation.
