Ryanair has insisted it is not making empty threats over its fears about European Open Skies following Brexit.
Speaking as chief executive Michael O'Leary's met with transport secretary Chris Grayling yesterday, it said: "This is not an 'empty threat', but has been a fact for over a year now.
"A new or alternative option to Open Skies needs to be formulated. To everyone who says 'it'll
be fine', we say, how will it be fine? And when will this solution be available?"
Ryanair wants to put pressure on the Government to strike a deal before September 2018 for the UK aviation industry in light of the Brexit vote.
O'Leary told Tuesday's BBC Newsnight programme that the alternative would mean no flights to Europe for UK holidaymakers for summer 2019, adding people will have to 'drive to Scotland or get ferries to Ireland' instead.
O'Leary said yesterday's meeting was a 'very good meeting'.

I don't understand his comment about driving to Scotland?
Perhaps he thinks that be then Scotland will be independent and back in the EU? Perhaps he knows something that the rest of us don't? :-)

I am sure I could start up glamping? Running water guaranteed
