Politico reports.“Why aren’t we shooting these drones down?” O’Leary asked. “Our operations were disrupted three weeks ago when drones overflew Poland, and the Polish airports were closed for four hours.”He recalled that a similar situation occurred last week in Denmark. According to him, it caused significant disruptions to air travel and affected thousands of passengers.“It’s disruptive, and we’re calling for action,” the airline’s CEO emphasized.At the same time, O’Leary expressed skepticism about the drone wall idea that EU leaders plan to discuss at the Copenhagen summit, calling it ineffective.“I don’t think a drone wall has any effect whatsoever.
