Ryanair group chief executive Michael O’Leary was quoted as telling the Financial Times last week that rivals easyJet and Wiz Air would need to merge or be taken over as the industry consolidates in the wake of COVID-19.

“(It is) complete nonsense,” easyJet CEO Johan Lundgren told Reuters in an interview. “I would urge anyone who runs an airline to focus on their own business rather than speculate about others, (where) they have no idea about what’s going on.”
