    Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary is "happy" to operate the flights that deport asylum seekers in England to Rwanda, if he has available planes for that. "If we had any spare aircraft in the winter schedule and the government was looking for additional deportation flights then we would be happy to put in a quote," O'Leary said during an interview in London.

    The British government has not approached Ryanair about operating the flights, said O'Leary, who is known for his controversial statements. The Ryanair CEO rejected the United Nations warning that airlines facilitating the deportations could be complicit in violating international law.

    When will someone call this "cruel and unusual punishment" ...
