I was only reading last week's Sunday Tribune today. The paper's business editor, old blogging comrade Richard Delevan, notes that real details about Ryanair's plan to fly to the US seem pretty sketchy. Delevan contacted MacArthur Airport in Islip to ask about possible contact from Ryanair and they've had none. Still, Delevan seems not to realize that Stewart Airport might be another possibility for New York. But, maybe O'Leary doesn't plan to go to or near New York.
Last Sunday's Baltimore Sun reported that Baltimore-Washington International has had discussions with Ryanair. The article also notes that Michael O'Leary never mentioned New York (or Baltimore) when he was quoted as saying he wanted to offer service to "Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, Dallas and Florida cities".
So, us New Yorkers in Ireland and those in and around NY who fly to Ireland may have to wait to be able to be able to get the ultimate no-frills transatlantic service. {I hope when they do go to New York Ryanair revives the old Laker Airlines ads featuring people strap-hanging to London}
