Ryanair looks set to secure a “feeder deal” with Norwegian Air.

The move would reportedly see the Irish airline filter its passengers onto the Scandinavian carrier’s growing network of low-cost, long-haul routes.

Ryanair passengers departing from regional airports could be fed through its main hub at a time synchronised to connect with the long-haul leg of their journey operated by Norwegian, all made in a single transaction.

The first combination of flights could start as early as the first quarter of 2017, The Sunday Telegraph reports.

The deal could pave the way for Norwegian to operate transatlantic routes to more European airports at a reduced cost, while guaranteeing higher priced seats for Ryanair.
