Ryanair mull more flights outside EU

RYANAIR would consider more flights outside the region if countries enter into bilateral agreements with the EU, the airline’s head of route development said.

Nations including Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Russia and Ukraine will probably sign so-called open-skies agreements liberalising air travel with the EU, Bernard Berger said today in an interview at the world low-cost airline congress in London.

Ryanair would consider flights to those countries if airport costs were acceptable, he said.
