LONDON (AFX) - Airlines operating out of the UK, including British Airways and Ryanair, will sue the British government for up to 300 mln stg in lost earnings stemming from extra security measures imposed last week, according to a report in the Times.
The airlines hope the threat of a legal action will force the government to drop hand luggage restrictions, which have seen hundreds of flights cancelled since an alleged terror plot was foiled last week, said the paper. simon.duke@afxnews.com sd/jfr COPYRIGHT Copyright AFX News Limited 2005.
