US low-cost carriers eyeing Europe
US low-cost carriers already flying to Mexico, the Caribbean and Canada are heading for Europe as well.
ATA Airlines plans to fly to destinations in Europe next year and is negotiating with German airport Cologne-Bonn, the company said.
“We want to fly to two or three European cities, and are currently in intensive talks concerning this,” ATA vice president Douglas Yakota told reporters in Cologne.
He added that Germany – and particularly the Cologne-Bonn airport due to its success in low-cost travel – were high on the list of potential destinations.
USA Today predicted discount airlines taking more overseas routes “possibly within the next two years.”
The newspaper quoted JetBLue officials as casually talking about overseas flights.
