ya think spirit or jetblue's yields are low, ryanair'll be much worse. I really help they don't come over here.
Anyone know how much Ryanair pilots get paid?
The article mentions service to LAX and SFO - I don't think the 800 can quite make it that far. Even so, an airplane completely full of $12 tickets won't even come close to paying for the fuel required to make the east coast from Europe. Their business class will have to be "very expensive" indeed.
Thanks C601. Pretty interesting.
The big question is what aircraft types do you think would be available in bulk to support their plan of 50-60 aircraft? Can you build a sufficient fleet size around used airplanes that are currently available (or will be available in the next 6 months)?
Clearly they would not want a multi-type fleet for efficiency/training/maintenance reasons. Plus, Ryanair tends to like newer airplanes (so deliveries may be targeted). If newer airplanes are preferred, then older 757/767-200/300s probably wouldn't be targeted. Are we talking older A330s or newer airplanes dropped by existing carriers?
You would need a lot of seats to reduce the CASM and 757s and 767s might not hack it... Did the CEO mention the proposed start-up date (or range of dates)?
