I know we have heard this rumor a few times, but Norwegian was not operating its 787 service a few years ago when the Ryanair CEO first discussed his longhaul aspirations. Ryanair has 20+ hubs in Europe it can leverage. I can't imagine how uncomfortable a seat would be on a Ryanair widebody.... Here is an article from this week:
http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/flights-to-us-will-cost-just-10-on-ryanair-oleary-30041838.html
What "efficient" aircraft types could be available in mass numbers in the next 3-5 years if Ryanair wanted to move forward? Discarded 777-200s or A340s from the Middle East as their fleets get renewed? Retired 767-300s or 747-400s?
Why post this article in the Majors section of FI? Even though we are talking different target passenger demographics, I am pretty sure thousands of super-cheap seats sold daily across the Atlantic would not help US majors... And it sounds like it is getting closer to reality.
