Ryanair confirms link-up with long-haul carriers
Ryanair is finalising deals with 2 long-haul carriers to create a “seamless” transfer experience, the airline has announced. The partnerships will allow passengers taking Ryanair flights which connect with Aer Lingus and Norwegian services to book their whole trip with the long-haul airlines and have their baggage automatically moved between planes. David O’Brien, Ryanair’s COO, gave an example of passengers travelling from Belfast to Gatwick with Ryanair and then continuing their journey with Norwegian, which serves a number of destinations in the US. He said holidaymakers would have a much lower chance of luggage going missing when they change planes. O’Brien said Ryanair was “working on the technical elements” of the deals with Aer Lingus and Norwegian, and is also having “tentative” discussions with other carriers. <br/>
