The reality is you can leave the EU. Yes, that\u2019s your choice. But everything will fundamentally change,\u201d he said, according to the Press Association.<br \/>\nThe Dublin-based carrier\u2019s boss warned there would be a \u201creal crisis\u201d as flights between the UK and the EU are disrupted after Brexit.<br \/>\n\u201cWhen you begin to realize that you\u2019re no longer going to have cheap holidays in Portugal or Spain or Italy, you\u2019ve for to drive to Scotland or get a ferry to Ireland as your only holiday options, maybe we\u2019ll begin to rethink the whole Brexit debate.\u201d<br \/>\nCarsten Spohr, the boss of German carrier Lufthansa, who was on stage alongside O\u2019Leary, backed the threat.<br \/>\n\u201cIn theory, if we could use this industry to prove to the British how wrong the decision was, that might be a good thing,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nThe single market for aviation, created in the 1990s, means there are no commercial restrictions for airlines flying within the EU.<br \/>\nO\u2019Leary has repeatedly warned that airlines will be forced to cancel post-Brexit services from March 2019 if no agreement is reached in the Brexit negotiations by September, because schedules are planned about six months in advance.<br \/>\nTransport Secretary Chris Grayling said in January that he is confident flights will not be grounded because \u201cit&#8217;s in the interests of everyone\u201d to maintain the open market for aviation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n<script>(function(d, s, id) {\r\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\r\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\r\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\r\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\r\n}(document, \"script\", \"facebook-jssdk\"));<\/script>\r\n <fb:comments href=\"https:\/\/english.thesunrisetoday.com\/index.php\/no-more-cheap-holidays-for-brits\/\" font=\"arial\" num_posts=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" colorscheme=\"light\"  style=\"background:#FFFFFF;padding-top:0px;\r\npadding-right:0px;\r\npadding-bottom:0px;\r\npadding-left:0px;\r\nmargin-top:0px;\r\nmargin-right:0px;\r\nmargin-bottom:0px;\r\nmargin-left:0px;\r\n\"><\/fb:comments>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RyanAir is threatening to ground planes after Britain leaves the EU to persuade voters to \u201crethink\u201d Brexit.
