Airline aims to rule Europe before turning its attentions transatlantic

Ryanair is planning on conquering Europe and becoming the undisputed low-cost airline of choice before it introduces its transatlantic routes, in fewer than 10 years.

The low-cost airline is aiming to account for a third of all flights in Europe by following the model of Southwestern Airlines in the US.

Ryanair’s chief marketing officer, Kenny Jacobs, said that there is still room for growth in Europe before the company rolls out its transatlantic plan.
