Ryanair accused of 'reckless attitude' in breaching EU Covid-safety rules - which could stop air travel again

RYANAIR has been accused of breaching EU safety guidelines regarding coronavirus, with little protection for its crew and passengers.Ryanair have been accused of not offering enough protection to crew and passengers in regard to EASA guidelinesThe EASA guidelines state: "Airport operators, aircraft operators and service providers/suppliers should provide the necessary PPE to their staff members and ensure that they are trained in its appropriate use.

The airline also does not have spare face masks on board, according to the pilot union, and instead advises passengers they can "cover" their mouths and noses with something else such as a handkerchief, for example. "Likewise, Ryanair informs the workers that, although the use of masks is mandatory for users of public transport in Spain, it is not on board the plane, inviting passengers around to change seats, in case a person refuses to put it on."

The union has also accused Ryanair of ignoring other EASA recommendations such as reducing on board services, including the selling of alcohol, as well as not mixing crews to reduce the chance of spreading the virus.
