Now, I don't often agree with Michael O'Leary when he goes off on a rant but on this occasion I do think he has got a point. Why should airlines who might have sold a ticket for €30 be responsible for expenses of multiples of that amount because of circumstances outside their control. I can understand why they should pay if it was their fault but not for something like volcanic ash. It's a stupid law.
Surely the real villians of all this are the insurance companies whose job it is analyse and price risk but worm their way out of paying out on travel insurance policies by saying it was an Act Of God. Why are airlines who are struggling anyway left with the bill?
