Chief executive Michael O’Leary has already held talks with US plane manufacturer Boeing about designing an aircraft with standing room. Mr O’Leary said he got the idea from the Chinese airline Spring, which said it could squeeze 50% more passengers on board and cut costs by 20%.

So, welcome soon on the first plane-underground?

Disclosure: Mr O’Leary, have you ever thought to launch some Pole Dance/exotic Dance Class around the new “bar stools”? It could help for those who refuse to travel with pay toilets and standing room

Ho, and by the way, what about people in wheelchairs?

Ryanair Offers In-Flight Mobile Phones

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary unveiled the discount airline’s latest money-making plan: inflight mobile service. Although several other airlines such as Air-France KLM and BMI British Midland have run in-flight cell phone service trials, Ryanair is the first European airline to actually begin kitting out 20 of its 170-strong fleet.

The service is provided by OnAir, a company 67% owned by aviation company Sita and 30% by Airbus. O’Leary aims to offer it aboard the entire fleet within the next 18 months.

Calls aren’t cheap, though, costing between $2.15 (€ 1,70) and $4.28 (€ 3,40) a minute, with text messages costing 60 cents (€ 0,50) and e-mails up to $2.85 (€ 2,30).
