Ryanair will take delivery of 50 new aircraft next year, but none are likely to come to the UK, chief executive Michael O’Leary has said.
He said he expects three or four months of ‘considerable uncertainty’ following the Brexit vote – and all future investment would be focused on Europe.
The Wall Street Journal reports O’Leary as saying Ryanair’s overall targets remained unchanged, but the airline will ‘pivot all of our growth into the European Union’.
"We are taking another 50 aircraft next year. Would we place any of those in the UK? It is highly unlikely," he said.
Despite uncertaintly, the impact on near-term bookings to and from Britain would be limited, O’Leary predicted.
