About

Ryanair, an Irish low-cost airline, is currently newsworthy due to several factors. Primarily, a public spat has erupted between its CEO, Michael O'Leary, and Elon Musk, involving insults and even Musk suggesting he might buy the airline. This arose after O'Leary expressed reservations about installing Musk's Starlink internet technology on Ryanair's fleet. Despite the feud, Ryanair's CFO indicated the airline is open to using Starlink in the future if the technology and price are right. Furthermore, Ryanair is facing potential changes to EU regulations regarding cabin baggage. Proposed legislation could mandate free additional cabin bags, which other airlines like easyJet are criticizing, warning of potential fare increases and flight delays. Ryanair's position on this specific proposal isn't explicitly stated in these articles. Separately, flights were temporarily suspended at Edinburgh Airport due to air traffic control IT issues, impacting Ryanair flights.
