Environmentalists hit Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary in the face with a cream pie outside the European Union headquarters in Brussels on Thursday, in a protest over carbon emissions by Europe's busiest airline. "Stop the pollution," a female protester dressed in black shouted after hitting O'Leary in the face with the pie as he was setting up a photo opportunity with a cardboard cutout of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Ryanair is Europe's largest airline by passenger numbers and is flying over 20% more passengers than it did before the COVID-19 pandemic.
