Ryanair will fly to US for $14, CEO says
1Ryanair’s colorful CEO is in the travel headlines again. But this time it’s not for promising to someday charge passengers for using the bathroom in-flight.
Michael O’Leary said his airline plans to offer flights from Europe to the United States for as little as $14. Flights from the United States to Europe will be even cheaper, he said.
He made his remarks at the Irish Hotels Federation conference earlier this week, as?reported by The Telegraph. A Ryanair representative confirmed to ABC News O’Leary’s comments at the conference.
The flights would leave from up to 14 major European cities to 12 to 14 destinations in the United States.
