No-frills airline Ryanair believes that flights to and from Poland will be profitable, "If we manage to have 75% booking, then we will break even on flights to Poland in three months," assured Michael O'Leary, president of Ryanair.
For the time being the company plans to provide daily flights from Wrocław to Warsaw, while routes to follow will be decided upon at the beginning of 2006.
"We will not only fly from Wrocław. We are negotiating with four Polish airports. For now we do not have planes to service other airports," explained O'Leary. Ryanair will only service flights to Poland, but "If the number of flights increases in the CEE, we will set up a regional hub. We are considering locating it in Wrocław for instance," said the company's CEO.
The investment will be launched in 2-3 years, while the forecasted investments will amount to $240-250 million. The airline expects to transport 100,000 passengers in the first year of operations.
