Ryanair Holdings Plc said plans to link its short-haul operations with long-haul routes are focused on Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA, Portugal’s TAP and an unidentified U.S. carrier after talks with Aer Lingus Holdings Plc and Virgin Atlantic Airways failed to reach an agreement.
Negotiations on providing feeder traffic for trans-Atlantic services should produce a deal next summer, Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary said Tuesday in London, adding that discussions with IAG SA’s Aer Lingus foundered over the issue of which carrier should be responsible for missed connections.
