But they will be using in the main Irish registered aircraft. So how many UK registered aircraft does Ryanair actually have? How many UK based office staff does Ryanair employ at its UK HQ?
That's what they hope to do, but they will have plans in place to change quickly if they can't - just like they did with Ryanair Sun which was set up just to do 'bucket and spade' flights from Poland.
As things stand, my understanding is that there is no regulatory framework for flights between the UK and the EU27 after 29/03
