DUBLIN, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Ryanair is to ask
competition authorities to force British Airways owner IAG
to make divestments as part of its purchase of Air
Europa, chief executive Michael O'Leary said on Monday.
"I think it is a good deal for IAG, for Willie Walsh. I
think it is a bad deal from a competition point of view,"
O'Leary said on a conference call with analysts.
"It is a merger to monopoly in Madrid and I think we would
certainly be looking for the competition authorities to require
some competition divestments, particularly in the Air Europa
short-haul," he said.
