Italian civil aviation authority ENAC
has written to Ryanair threatening to suspend it from using
Italy's airports for failing to respect rules aimed at
preventing coronavirus contagion.
ENAC also informed its Irish counterpart about the "repeated
violation of anti-COVID-19 health measures drafted by the
Italian government and in force to protect passengers' health".
It said that, if the company does not rectify the situation, it
will impose "the suspension of all air-transport activity in
national airports".
Airlines are exempted from running at 50% of capacity to ensure
social distancing of one metre only if they respect a series of
other rules and ENAC said Ryanair is failing to do this.
ENAC said the rules include the obligation to wear facemask
during flights , adding that it is the airlines' responsibility
to ensure the rules are respected on board aircraft.
