Ryanair recently announced the creation of 3,500 jobs – including one they themselves titled as ‘the worst job in Ireland’ – as part of a major recruitment drive and also revealed plans to take delivery of 50 new planes over the next 12 months.
Elaborating on the possibility of Ryanair passengers flying for free in the near future, O’Leary said that the process that could eventually lead to that happening is already underway.
“I think it will happen,” O’Leary added.
“It just won’t happen at Heathrow or those big hub airports. But most of the other airports who are looking for big traffic growth, that process is already starting to happen, lowering airport fees and some of the charges.
“If (air passenger duty) is gone: at many airports I’m paying more than £20 (approximately €23) already with APD and fees, if I start getting that back, why not? I’m doing seat sales this week at £4 (€5) and I’m paying the £13 (€15) APD – I’m paying you to fly with me.
“Instead of promotional tickets being £9 (€10.50) or £5 (€6) they will be free.”
If free fares do happen, we'll see you at the check-in queue...
