Ryanair case ruling due on Monday

The High Court will rule on Monday on whether or not Ryanair’s departing chief operations officer Peter Bellew can join the airline’s British rival EasyJet next month.

Ryanair asked the court to prevent Mr Bellew from joining EasyJet as its chief operations officer in January.

Mr Justice Senan Allen, who spent eight days hearing the action, will rule on Monday.

The airline says Mr Bellew agreed not to work for any Ryanair competitor for one year after leaving the company when he took share options in the Irish carrier in 2018.
