Low cost to USA
Tradition would have it that LCCs dont do the long haul or flights above 4 hours. And MOL has often said he is not at all interested in anything outside Europe or certainly close to it. However, nothing would surprise me these days.
I believe MOL realises the opportunity in the Longer routes. Aer Lingus is the vehicle that he would use for this. If the EU rules against Ryanair and MOL is told he cannot persue the take over idea, MOL woll certainly try to make life hard for them.
Jetstar are showing that Long range routes can work, where many have not succeeded.
We must wait and see. I could see EZY being much more interested in Longer Routes than Ryanair.
Would Ryanair do NOC USA? Good prices ex the USA to Ireland could do wonders for Tourism , especially in the West ?? NOC SNN or even KIR.
Whether Ryanair or EZY venture into USA operations some lower cost outfit will as there are big opportunities....
