Ryanair blamed a downturn in forward bookings and airfares in the Republic of Ireland"
That fall in bookings would appear to have happened around time of Brexit clause going in, would be interesting to know on which routes / dates the fall is. Of course there are many variables, it could also be due to the strikes, or some other cause - in so far as it is possible to tell we will probably never know because it suits people with various agendas to present one cause or another.
the pressure on the UK government will rise exponentially.
Would be wrong target - UK govt has, I believe, already stated it wants UK to stay in EASA. Of course that is
not something within the UK's power to grant, would be more sensible to pressure those who
can grant it.
