A quick google search of Ryanair and long haul will throw up a number of threads where MOL has been quoted on the merits of the airline offering transatlantic services. Could be some truth in the rumour.

These were his thoughts back in Sept 2005.

Paxboy - I wouldn't necessarily be seduced by MOL's flippant remarks that are made to grab the headlines. So long as there is a buck to be made then I can't see MOL giving a flying **** what his crews are up to down route so long as they turn up on time to fly his aircraft.

IF Ryanair did start LOCO flights to say New York or Miami then would they not be forced to offer slightly better comfort level than they current offer on thier flights?
I can't imagine many passengers who would want to sit in that kind of cabin for anything longer than 2/3 hours, the DVT conscience pax would surely have a fit!
How would such a move affect the Bigger Carriers, have any of major airlines suffered from the FlyGlobespan Glasgow-Miami route, and will they suffer from the MAN-Cape town route in the summer?

Question for the RyanAir people out there
Are all of your aircraft registered in the UK?
The reason I ask is that I am researching the conversion process of my FAA ATP and wonder if I can do the restricted ATP which would only be two exams. Thus saving me a plane load of money.
Cheers,
Walt

The End For BA Short Haul?
As easyJet and RyanAir broaden out of Europe this could be the begining of the end of BA short haul, it's franchises and subsidiaries? Why else has BA 'hung onto' its LGW slots. What do you know?

Any news regarding this operation?
I have the feeling that FR will not operate soon routes to Greece for several reasons. Apart the standard reasons such us secondary airports, protection of the Greek government of it own (bankrupted) flag carrier...etc...
The point is that the Greek citizens rarely travel abroad. And an airline cannot be sustained just from the summer season. Moreover, as we all know FR sells the 98% (maybe even more) via Internet. In Greece the internet access at the moment is very low. So, I can't see how FR could reach the clients.
From the other side, I see a big potential for routes such as CIA - ATH and from London to Athens. There are loads of Greeks studing abroad and that would be a good market for the LOCOs....
However does any insider have any info?
