easyJet CEO: Onboard social distancing will not work long term

29 April, 2020

easyJet CEO Johan Lundgren agreed with arguments made by Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary that regulating social distancing onboard aircraft will not work in the long term and will "totally change the business model" of LCCs (Evening Standard, 28-Apr-2020). "We need to go with the evidence of the medical science and I can't see how this would be an effective way of socially distancing", Mr Lundgren continued.
