Fri 04 Apr 2007Ryanair's US service to cost up to €200mRyanair's new low-cost transatlantic airline could cost €100- €200 million to set up, chief executive Michael O'Leary said yesterday. However, he said that there was a huge appetite among investors, particularly Ryanair investors, to fund the venture which will be run separately from Ryanair.  Ciarán Brennanreports."Ryanair won't have any investment in this long-haul airline," he said. "There are a lot of investors who are very keen to see a long-haul, low-fares airline operate transatlantic services. If open skies goes ahead, based on aircraft orders in the middle of 2009, we could go out and raise €100 - €200 million. I think that would largely come from Ryanair shareholders or investors in London or New York, who had a good run on Ryanair. Raising the money is easy."
