The launch of a
long-haul low-fare which is on Michael O'Leary's
radar, whether it gets off the ground is very
much dependent on finding cheap aircraft. It
will be a sister company of Ryanair's but the
low-cost carrier itself will not invest in it or

Airlines is insisting that its central investor,
York Capital, has not indicated any intention to
withdraw funding from the airline and is still
committed to the carrier. SkyEurope chief
executive Jason Bitter tells ATI,
flightglobal.com's sister premium news source,
that "every indication" from York - which agreed
a ¤10 million loan to the airline last
month - is that the company is "still very much
engaged"."They want to see this through," he
says, suggesting that York would not have agreed
further funding if it was intending to withdraw
it. Oct 9, 2008
