Ryanair DAC CEO: Coronavirus vaccinations 'are really for long-haul'

Ryanair DAC CEO Eddie Wilson, responding to Qantas Group's coronavirus vaccination requirements, said: "Vaccinations in that context are really for long-haul", adding: "With short-haul and freedom of movement of people in Europe... I think we'll see an entirely different landscape come Spring and early Summer. [It's] not really relevant for short-haul and European travel" (News Talk, 24-Nov-2020). Mr Wilson suggested travellers in Europe who choose not to be vaccinated may travel via other means of transportation, noting Australia is located a "long way from everywhere".
