LONDON (AP) - Budget airline Ryanair Holdings PLC on Friday filed a claim for 3 million pounds ($5.7 million) against the British government as compensation for the cost of new security measures enforced after a major terror alert.
The Department for Transport said it would not roll back the security restrictions as Ryanair demanded, and said the Dublin, Ireland-based airline had no legal ground for seeking compensation.
"The value of the claim ... reflects Ryanair's losses from cancellations and lost bookings over the week of 10-16 August only," said Michael O'Leary, the airline's chief executive.
