The British regulators are set to order Ryanair Holdings plc (ISE:RY4B) to sell half of its stake in Aer Lingus Group plc (ISE:EIL1). The UK Competition Commission is expected to decide this week if Ryanair's 29.8% stake in Aer Lingus distorts the market for flights between Ireland and Britain. If the commission does order Ryanair to sell stake, this would end the hopes of Ryanair acquiring Aer Lingus. Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary said that he expected the commission to come up with "some scatty idea" that the airline should sell part of its holding in its smaller rival. "I can''t imagine they''ll require us to sell all of the stake, but there''ll be some partial sell down," he said. "That will expose them to a lot of legal issues." He added that Ryanair would appeal any order to sell any of its stake. Christoph Mueller, Chief Executive officer of Aer Lingus, has repeatedly made clear he wants to see Ryanair "off the shareholder register".
