RYANAIR WEBSITE TO SELL AIR EUROPA LONG HAUL FLIGHTS
ROUTES TO ARGENTINA, BRAZIL, CUBA, MEXICO & USA ON SALE ON
RYANAIR.COM
Ryanair, Spain's No.1 airline, today (23 May) announced a new
flight partnership with Air Europa, which will allow its 130m
customers to book Air Europa long haul flights on the Ryanair.com
website. From today, customers can browse and book Air Europa
flights on 20 long haul routes from Madrid to 16 countries in
North, Central and South America, including Argentina, Brazil,
Cuba, Mexico and the United States.
This new Air Europa partnership is the latest initiative
delivered under Year 4 of Ryanair's "Always Getting Better"
customer experience programme, and follows the launch of Ryanair's
connecting flight service via Rome Fiumicino last week.
The second phase of this Air Europa partnership will be launched
later this year and will allow Ryanair customers to connect onto
Air Europa long haul flights through Madrid. Ryanair is continuing
its discussions with a number of other long haul airlines on
potential feed and connecting flight partnerships.
In Madrid, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said:
"We are pleased to announce this exciting partnership with Air
Europa, which allows our customers to browse and book flights on 20
long routes from Madrid to exciting cities in Argentina, Brazil,
Cuba, Mexico and the USA on the Ryanair.com website. Ryanair
operates over 50 short haul routes to/from Madrid and now our
customers can book flights on Air Europa long haul routes to
destinations including Buenos Aires, Havana and New York.
This partnership is the latest AGB enhancement as we continue
our journey to becoming the 'Amazon of travel.' We continue to
speak to a number of other long haul airlines about potential
connecting flight partnerships and we look forward to offering our
130m customers an even greater choice and range of long haul
services in 2018."
Globalia Group CEO, Javier Hidalgo said:
"This partnership with Ryanair gives us great satisfaction, and
it puts us at the forefront of business and allows us to strengthen
our competitiveness. With this agreement Air Europa doubles its
connectivity with the European continent adding 53 European
cities.
This agreement consolidates Air Europa, the only regular airline
with 100% Spanish capital, as the best price-quality option to fly
between Europe and America. I am also happy to announce that in
2020 Air Europa will have the most modern and efficient fleet of
the market operating between both continents."
