Tweets of the day:
@designerjet Danish unions have been good for promoting Danish brand and for that we’re grateful. O’Leary.
@maddysavage Talks with Malmö & Stockholm’s Arlanda airport & @Ryanair are happening but “not going anywhere yet” says Michael O’Leary.
@mgarcia_writer Many ‘mentions’ of Danish model by O’Leary but support for new Danish aviation plan as hub for Nordics. Air taxes elsewhere will benefit CPH.
@mgarcia_writer Rasmussen not first and won’t be last PM to fly with Ryanair. Should be commended for wise use of funds, says O’Leary.
@reutersConorH Michael O’Leary sees little risk to economy in #GE16 stalemate. Hopeful for govt ‘not run by the Shinners or a ragtag of leftwing halfwits’.
