Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has name-checked four potential young candidates from within the airline who could take over his role when he finally steps down.

He said the four managers – all in their 30s or 40s – would be much better placed to take his role as group CEO than people drafted in from Aer Lingus, BA or Lufthansa.
