Aer Lingus Group Plc Chief Executive Officer Christoph Mueller said Ryanair Holdings Plc’s plan to transfer part of the Irish flag carrier’s business to Flybe Group Plc as part of a takeover bid can’t be taken seriously.
“It seems so far-fetched, this proposition, that we don’t waste our time in basing things on that,” Mueller said today on a call with reporters. “The entire bid, starting from the price to the construction of the deal, I cannot take really serious.”
