Ryanair boss sees UK quarantine dropped or quashed by end-June

LONDON, June 8 (Reuters) - Ryanair believes
Britain's courts will either strike down a 14-day quarantine for
international travellers this week or the government will drop
the measure before the end of June, boss Michael O'Leary told
Reuters on Monday.

O'Leary said legal action proposed by British Airways-owner
IAG and supported by low cost rivals easyJet
and Ryanair seeking injunctive relief has a "high likelihood of
success." Legal papers are due to be filed on Monday or Tuesday,
he added.

"I think in their heart of hearts the government would like
the courts to strike it down because it would get them off the
hook. I think either the courts will strike it down this week or
the government will quietly drop it before the end of June,"
O'Leary said in a Reuters TV interview.
