CEO hit in face with two pies while holding one-man protest in Brussels against air traffic controller strikes
The Ryanair chief executive, Michael O’Leary, got a rude welcome in Brussels when he received two cream pies to the face while standing next to a cardboard cutout of the EU’s Ursula von der Leyen.
The pies were landed by two female environmental activists as O’Leary was holding a one-man protest outside the European Commission against repeated air traffic controllers’ strikes in the EU affecting his low-cost Irish airline, Europe’s biggest by passenger numbers.
