Reports in the media had indicated that, by 2020, the Michael O?Leary-fronted airline would be in a position to provide cheap transatlantic flights worth $15 before taxes.
However, in a very short and curt response to the stock market, a statement read: ?In the light of recent press coverage, the noard of Ryanair Holdings Plc wishes to clarify that it has not considered or approved any transatlantic project and does not intend to do so.? Publications including The Guardian, Forbes and the Daily Mail had reported the airline had plans to extend its flight offering to North America for as little as ?10, ?as part of an ambitious five-year growth strategy?. Rather than make the decision to begin flying across the Atlantic, Ryanair?s two newest destination additions are closer to home in the form of Castellon and Ponta Delgada. Speaking on 11 March, Ryanair CMO Kenny Jacobs said: ?Ryanair will continue to connect London with Europe’s key centres of business, with more flights and improved schedules to and from major cities including Berlin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Madrid, Milan, Prague, Rome and Warsaw, making Ryanair the ideal choice for business customers, and reaffirming Stansted as the gateway to London, with more European connections than any other London airport.?
