Ryanair hopes long-haul deal with Aer Lingus will start in 2018
Ryanair hopes to start feeding passengers onto Aer Lingus from early 2018, its CMO Kenny Jacobs has said. Jacobs said the airline had hoped to introduce an integrated system enabling customers to buy long haul tickets with its rival earlier this year. However, he added the airline now anticipates this starting with the first half of 2018. Jacobs said the airline hoped to be able to offer flights from other carriers in the IAG stable and said it was happy to work with any airline. He also defended Ryanair’s treatment of pilots, saying the airline was a great one for them to work at and claiming it was gaining pilots from rival carrier. “We have an incredible number of pilots from Alitalia and Air Berlin applying to join Ryanair. We’ve also hired from Monarch as well,” Jacobs said. <br/>
