Budget airline Ryanair is to offer flights to the US for eight pounds, by buying planes from struggling rivals.
The plan will be revealed when chief executive Michael O'Leary announces the firm's quarterly results on Monday.
"Economy class will be very cheap, around 10 euros, but our business class will be very expensive," he said in a newspaper interview.
Ryanair's second quarter profits are expected to fall, due to higher fuel prices and its decision to cut fares.
Mr O'Leary is expected to announce plans to buy more than 50 extra aircraft, as part of plans to beat the recession by undercutting more expensive rivals.
"We'll just have to keep flying more aircraft, opening up more routes and offering people more cheap flights," Mr O'Leary said.
