O’Leary was preparing to make a statement to the press in front of the European Commission (EC) headquarters, when two activists threw a cake in his face while saying “welcome to Belgium”. “I have never been so well received. Unfortunately they were environmentalists and the cream was artificial. I invite the passengers to come to Ireland, where the cream is better,” O’Leary quipped before the cameras, still with traces of cream on his face.

The Belgian pilots of the airline based at Charleroi airport will go on strike for the fourth time in two months on days September 14 and 15, in search of better wages and conditions, as announced by the CNE and ACV Puls unions.
