Norwegian did it with a no-frills service from Irish airports until it axed the flights in 2019. With travel to the US getting easier, Covid restrictions gone and US Preclearance in Dublin and Shannon, surely the low-cost airline to end them all would crush it if it went transatlantic. One is that Ryanair does 25-minute turnarounds and goes to a lot of uncongested airports in Europe. “What really pays for transatlantic are the 24 people up front and the cargo,” Wilson says. “And we just keep rolling that out all the time... you know, it’s boring!”As for being cautious in terms of transatlantic flights, it looks like Ryanair will continue to keep us waiting.
