Ryanair dismissed four cabin crew last year for refusing to fly, one of the airline group’s executives confirmed in the High Court on Friday. Mr Bellew maintains the agreement is null and void, denies any breach of contract and pledges to honour all confidentiality obligations to Ryanair. Eddie Wilson, chief executive of Ryanair Designated Activity Company, the airline group’s main subsidiary, confirmed that it dismissed four cabin crew for refusing to fly from Cologne in Germany to Palma in Spain, where they were based. Mr Wilson said that Ryanair carried out an internal investigation and then invited the crew to a disciplinary hearing, after which the four were dismissed. Earlier yesterday, Mr Wilson said that Mr Bellew had confidential information on Ryanair that was extremely valuable to rivals.
