Come fly with me.

Michael O’Leary has a new plan for Ryanair – selling concert tickets.

According to Independent.ie, the chief executive of Ireland’s low fares airline is looking to expand the company’s annual revenue by selling tickets to the best music gigs, along with hotel rooms and airport security fast pass vouchers.

O’Leary has said: “We now have an opportunity with the new website to build Ryanair.com not just as the airline’s website but as a kind of Amazon for travel in Europe.”

The idea is to double Ryanair’s profits to over €2 billion annually over the next six years by entering into non-flight-related business.

We wonder if this plan will take off, eh, eh?!
