Ryanair connection talks near deal

Ryanair has been in talks for a number of months with a number of airlines about providing feeder and connector flights for long-haul services.

The company says such a deal with Aer Lingus would be a “win-win” for Ireland.

It is currently waiting for a reply to proposals from the IAG-owned airline and expects to hear from it either this week or next. If the reply is positive, a service could commence sometime next year.
