Ryanair CEO Tweaks Aer Lingus Remedies in Move for Bid Approval

Ryanair Holdings Plc’s chief said he hopes regulators will make a “positive decision” by the end of February on his airline’s bid to buy rival Aer Lingus Group Plc as his company offers concessions to ensure competition.

“We’ve submitted a very radical package of remedies,” Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary said in an interview in Rome. “It’s a question of spending time” with the European Commission, he said, “trying to tweak the remedies so we ensure we address all the commission’s competition concerns and come out with the best deal for Irish consumers and visitors.”
