Ryanair will not be offering flights to Eastern Europe,
despite European Union expansion, according to chief executive Michael
O’Leary. Potential growth on routes into Poland and nine other
countries who joined the EU on 1 May sparked speculation of a pending sweep
into the region by low cost carriers, but Ryanair are wary. O’Leary
said: “I think Eastern Europe is over-fashionable at the moment. I
think it’s a market that will develop slowly over the next year or two.
There’ll be a lot of focus on a couple of sexy destinations like Prague
and maybe Warsaw.” He added that Ryanair will open up to another six
bases in Western Europe in the next two to four years before then maybe
considering Eastern Europe.
