Once a Ryanair plane lands, the crew has it cleaned, refueled, reboarded, and back in the air in 25 minutes. Aer Lingus needs about an hour to do the same thing. After three flights in a day, Ryanair has banked two hours, which is enough time to fit in two extra flights. Every single Ryanair plane flies more flights per day than every single Aer Lingus plane. That gap is where the entire profit margin of European cheap flying comes from. Long flights to other continents don&#8217;t work the same way. A faster turnaround at JFK doesn&#8217;t let you squeeze another flight to America into the day, so the saved time gets wasted. This is why O&#8217;Leary thinks Ryanair will never fly across the Atlantic but will dominate short flights inside Europe for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think everyone should have a draft email ready to go.

You can also request copies of LCAs filed over the past year, including both primary and secondary worksites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fifteen Comms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.personfamiliar.com\/p\/fifteen-comms-observations-from-musk\">Observations<\/a> from Musk v.
