Ryanair maintains their low fares using 737-800s. They don't have the range to do trans-Atlantic flights (as far as I know). Is there anything out there that's as cheap to run as a 737 with the range needed to cross the Atlantic? Perhaps the 787? But if this new airline doesn't already have orders in, how do they expect to start in 3 years?


Lastly, Ryanair works ok in Europe because none of the flights are very long. Can you imagine the airline staff running up and down the aisle selling raffle tickets the whole time? Being forced to pay for every single drink or snack you want? No thanks!
