The CEO of Ryanair pied in the face by climate activists in Brussels
The CEO of Ryanair, Michael O’Leary, was pied in the face during a Thursday visit to Brussels in a stunt by climate activists.
O’Leary was outside the European Commission preparing to deliver a petition calling for “overflights” to be protected during air traffic control strikes when he was hit with cream pies by two climate campaigners.
The airline boss has urged European leaders to allow flights traveling through French airspace — but not taking off or landing on French soil — to be exempt from restrictions imposed following a strike by air traffic controllers in that country.
Ryanair says it has so far collected 1.8 million signatures on its online petition from members of the public.
The incident was captured on video, and the activists can be heard shouting: “Welcome in Belgium. Stop the pollution of the f**king planes.”
