RyanAir, the Irish low cost airline. (The article states "RyanAir, the Irish airline). Unfortunately it's for subscribers only, but it doesn't give much additional information, other than Robert Ryan will be here for the presentation.

Who's Robert Ryan ?
Whoever he is, I don't see Michael O'Leary's Ryanair doing anything like this.

I dont think Robert is one of the original Ryan brothers (and they're dad) who was involved in setting up Ryanair in 1984. In fact I dont think he's the same family - it was just Declan and Shane and Tony.

Huh? WTF! This is VERY CONFUSING!!!!! Apart from this new LoCo carrier setting up STILL, THREE more coming, plus GolMex and Alma which this last one has recently selected GDL as it's airport base and CRJ-200s as it's main equipments!!!
Where will this RyanAir thing base? TLC? MTY? GDL?!!!
What's going on in here!!! Whatever this is, REALLY GREAT NEWS!!! Investments are good for the economy and the country.
If no-one ever before invested before I think it mainly was the government protection and a complicated scenery of competition with MX and AM mainly. But now, with CINTRA's sale and a whole aviation industry wide open for new competitors everyone seeks for a piece of the cake.
Keep them coming!!! Hopefully they choose B737NGs!!! No more Airbus please!!! Enough with the +90 so far projected for Volaris and Interjet....!!!

Isn't the bus company shooting itselves in the foot? Cheaper air tickets means they would lose customers.

Not if it's an airport-city bus service. The increase in passengers at the airport would mean more customers on the buses.

The journalist confirmed it is Ryanair from Irland. He sent me Anthony Ryan's resume. He is the one who will be in Mexico City next Feb 27th.
T. Anthony Ryan has served as a Director of Ryanair Holdings since July 2, 1996 and as a Director of Ryanair Limited since April 12, 1995. Dr. Ryan served as Chairman of the Board of Ryanair Holdings from August 23, 1996 until December 1996 and as Chairman of the Board of Ryanair Limited from January 1996 until December 1996. Dr. Ryan was one of the founders in 1975 of GPA Group plc ("GPA"), an operating lessor of commercial aircraft, and served as Chairman of GPA from 1985 to 1993. Following a restructuring of GPA involving General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") in 1993, Dr. Ryan served as Executive Chairman of, and subsequently as a consultant to, GE Capital Aviation Services, Limited, a company established by GECC to manage the aircraft assets of GPA, from 1993 to 1996.

Wow another LCC for Mexico. What number is this??? Its good to see Mexico get attention for investment in airlines. But how many airlines can Mexico handle?? Some how it feels like its starting to get saturated even if some of the airlines have yet to take off or have large fleets. Time will tell who goes and who will stay.

I hope so too. I bet they will be 738s.
Its not that we hate Airbus I do like Airbus I enjoy those flights of MX to MEX on them. But after seeing them for a while you kind of get tired of them.

Exactly!! We will have enough of airbus in Mexico for single aisle airplanes. We need more Boeing. The Airbus that we need in Mexico are the widebodies.

I read this in another forum!
Company name: Aeroenlaces Nacionales S.A de C.V. Will launch flights with 3 A320s plus 10 A320s more by 2007 based @ GDL.
Sadly for me, one more lost for Boeing!!! If all t his true, with Interjet, Volaris and Aeroenlaces it's now over +100 Airbus 320s for Mexico!!!! Add to that Mexicana plus all orders to follow...!!!

This is actually not Ryaniar, but a bunch or FR folks setting something up in Mexico. The company is Crescent Plane Consult. Some of their personnel were involved in Air Asia.
They are planning Q3 start-up (better get a move on), base selection is not complete (they are doing the rounds of the Mexican regions looking for government funding for the base), they will have 10 planes within 2 years. I know that they are planning OAX and VER service but they are after a 10 year deal from the airports.
The decision on which airport to use as a base should be complete by next month, so they say.
This comes direct from both the company and airports that have been approached.

It doesn't matter if its the Irish Ryan or American Ryan. They will saturate the market. Airlines like Aerocalifornia who are struggling at this point won't know what to do to stay alive.

Confirmed! It will be Aeroenlaces Nacionales. I don't know but I really like the name! Finally something in Spanish and traditional, like all names we had back in the 70s!
They have chosen Boeing B737s over Airbus and Embraers, they will start with 5 frames!!!
