In light of the drone disruptions that recently paralyzed airports in Poland and Denmark, he called for their immediate destruction.
At the same time, he questioned the effectiveness of the planned “drone wall,” which EU leaders will discuss at an informal summit in Copenhagen. According to O'Leary, this is not a real solution, as threats could also come from within the Union.
“I don't trust European leaders who sit around drinking tea and eating cookies,” he said. “If you can't even protect flights over France, what chance do we have that they will protect us from Russia?” he added, referring to flight cancellations over France during air traffic controller strikes in the country.
He also directed his criticism at EU leaders, whom he described as incompetent and inactive. He doubts their ability to protect Europe if they cannot even ensure basic air traffic safety.
He did not spare Ursula von der Leyen either, saying she was “useless” and should resign.
