With the ink on the new Open Skies agreement between the EU and the US still wet, Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary announced that the airline will launch low fare, no-frills flights between its European bases and the US.
The opening fare would be around $12. Amazing!
I am sure that a lot of people would be interested in this. I am!
The market is dominated by the legacy carriers (American and British Airways in particular), the prices are always too high and the service is pretty bad (although I have to say that we went to France for Christmas, flew Air France and enjoyed an excellent in-flight service).
For sure, there is room for Ryanair. I am confident that this will be a success story.
The company plans to imitate what it does in Europe: fly to secondary airports in order to avoid high taxes and reduce costs.
For example, Michael O'Leary revealed that he would fly the planes to Baltimore instead of DC, Long Island instead of NYC and Providence, RI instead of Boston Logan airport.
It will be funny to be on a Charleroix- Baltimore or on a Girona-Providence flight!
I can't wait for this day to happen and maybe my family will have the opportunity to see Europe in the summer! (dixit Sheila)
