Aer Lingus can go bust if oil spikes: O

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has warned that Aer Lingus could go bust if oil hits $200 a barrel.

Half the airlines would certainly go out of business if oil hit $200 a barrel,” said O’Leary. “That could include Aer Lingus. Only the strong airlines would survive and that would be British Airways, Lufthansa, Air France and Ryanair.”
