Tell me about Ryanair

Founded in 1985, Ryanair started up with just one aircraft that flew between Ireland and London Gatwick.

Ryanair has grown to become one of the market leaders in the European low-cost air travel sector, offering a no-frills, no-fuss service. Recent purchases of new aircraft demonstrate the firm’s future ambition and commitment to growth, with recent speculation suggesting a move into the long-haul sector.

As a major player in their chosen sector, Ryanair consistently delivers a crucial aspect of short-haul air travel - punctuality. The Dublin-based carrier is rightly proud of a reputation for arriving on time, as proven by recent statistics. This feat is especially impressive when you consider their low-cost, fast-turnaround strategy.

Over the past decade, Ryanair has won numerous performance awards from various sources. The no-frills airline was given the title of Europe's Leading Budget / No Frills Airline at the World Travel Awards twice in three years.
