Ryanair could add 1 or 2 airlines but 'nothing big'-O'Leary

Ryanair could acquire 1 or 2 smaller airlines like its separately branded Polish and Austrian units in the coming years, but "nothing big", CE Michael O'Leary said Tuesday. "You'll see in the next couple of years, I'd like to see Ryanair evolve as kind of a group of different airlines. We will have Ryanair based out of Ireland, you'll have Laudamotion based out of Austria, you'll have Ryanair Sun ... in Poland," he said. "That will I think allow us in the next number of years to maybe add 1 or 2 other airlines. Now, nothing big but if there were some small-scale opportunities that popped up like the Laudamotion opportunity then we could do it," he said, adding that they would have to bring new bases in Europe. <br/>
