The founder of easyJet has said the airline will "run out of money by around August", as he renewed calls to cancel a £4.5 billion order with Airbus.
Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou also called on the company to remove its chief finance officer, Andrew Findlay. It comes days after the businessman, who holds the biggest stake in easyJet, requested a meeting of the company's shareholders to decide whether to remove another director from the board.
On Friday, easyJet rejected the founder's request for the meeting aimed at removing director Andreas Bierwirth. Sir Stelios has now called for Findlay to be sacked, as he said it would be "the best way to stop him writing billion-pound cheques plus to Airbus every year".
