Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary talks the state of aviation in Europe, competition, deals with Boeing, and more.

I use Ryanair like a bus about 6 times a year and their fares are probably cheaper than a bus. Probably been late once whereas BA, LH etc are nearly always late. I hate the big airports they are just too big now and you always get lost and stuck in massive queues, small airports are better. Why do people go on about service and meals all the time. You are only on the plane on average about two hours. He' s right about European integration nobody has done more than O' Leary. Do I work for Ryanair- no, I work for a rival.

It costs me 5 times more to park my car at the airport than the cost of the Ryanair flight, they're awesome.
Thank God for The airline like RYNAIR !!! I can fly 2x a month to see my granddaughter in Poland for less then £20 return!!! Bless you Mr O’ Leary 💌

I don’t get the hate against Ryan air, as a broke student Ryan air was my possibility to travel entire Europe. With my parents I always flew Lufthansa, Swiss business class regionally in Europe and the experience isn’t that bad compared to the premium offer especially if you bring your own food, travel without suitcase, are more time flexible, wait for everyone to take a seat then find the best seats available

He's so right about the media's failure in Climate Change reporting. When they want to showcase the future of green energy in transport they show electric cars and autonomous vehicles instead of trains, buses andwalkable cities. Those are the solutions we need to truly decarbonise our transport infrastructure in a significant way.
I agree with many other comments , Ryanair enabled me to explore Europe and with Airbnb I can afford a 4 day trip for the same price as spending Friday & Saturday night in the pub . easyJet was good but tends to cost 50% more .
I never had a problem with Ryanair, in fact i find their air hostesses as if nit more friendly than other airlines and its more natural friendliness not fake

@@jonjohnson2844 that's a good point and I never considered that. Another angle is, how to get this across without being a bit rude, the legacy idea of air hostess being a glamorous job - which back in the day would have been. So the present hostess for big airlines such as Lufth or Swiss etc are probably holding on to this idea a bit more than they ought to and some if them look like porcelain dolls and they probably want the glamour but not the hauling a cart up and down a cramped aisle or cleaning up vomit etc .

Living on an island (UK) it's not like I can just drive to another country, Ryanair have literally changed my life. Obviously I travel outside Europe too, but that's maybe once a year, Ryanair allow me to go to another country once a month if I want to. I've been to Berlin for a weekend and the whole thing cost me less than one night out in Leeds including taxis.

@@collydub1987 Nope. Think about it. Virtually everyone with the aptitude & intelligence needed to lead a country to a better place usually leave University and go straight down the route of business leadership. Why is that? Because of greed? It's because: 1) Politics is a life of constant public scrutiny & no privacy; everyone in your family becomes an extension of you, making your childrens future careers narrowed massively 2) The responsibility-to-pay ratio is atrocious; you can lead an entire country but you can get paid less than a doctor, let alone a CEO 3) Take where I'm from, the UK. If we paid our MPs £10,000,000 per year instead of £80,000, it would quickly become a more attractive proposition to the talented individuals who would normally steer clear of politics.

Beg to differ on free movement of people being reliant on air travel. I recently did Utrecht to Basel on a 5 hour train ride. Door to door the same as flying, cheaper, and infinitely more comfortable AND relaxed. With flying there are 4-5 queues just to get on a plane - check in, security, sometimes immigration, boarding and random nonsense like ad hoc security checks or health screening. Compare that with 300km/hr on spacious Deutsch Bahn and it’s chalk and cheese!

Romans 5 - King James Version 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. (offence of one - Adam's one trespass, one sin, led to the condemnation of all men - the righteousness act of one was Jesus' death on the cross to pay for human sin) Salvation is not getting your sins forgiven, it's believing they already are! We are all sinners and fall short in God his glory - how to be saved - this is the gospel of salvation - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4 by trusting and believing the gospel of salvation you are saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise till the day of redemption and nothing can pluck you out of the Father his hand - (In whom we have redemption through his blood , even the forgiveness of sins: (Colossians 1:14 - King James Version) - eternal security is a free gift - it's a promise and God Almighty cannot lie!!! Have a blessed day! This is the gospel of salvation - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4 Witnesses of Christ's resurrection. 1) Moreover,brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2) ''By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. IT IS FINISHED... Paid in Full !!! But, You Must BELIEVE IT - 1 Corinthians 15:1 -4 KJV. 2 Timothy 2 King James Version 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
