Ryanair CEO: More and more people are traveling with lower fares
Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the company's quarterly earnings results, why prices won't be as high as hoped during the summer season, and much more.
Пікірлер: 251
No matter how you feel about Ryan Air/O’Leary, he has changed the game throughout Europe, elsewhere. The Ryan Air experience must not be too bad, everyone seems to fly with the airline and they serve more cities than I could ever have imagined. Wow!

It’s a myth that Ryanair provides cheaper prices. I fly frequently with Ryanair when there are no other alternatives to particular destinations, and trust me, Ryanair are by no means cheap compared to other airlines when you bring more than a small handbag. They benefit from having little to no competition on a large number of destinations.

Anybody who says Ryanair is cheaper isn’t tuned in….. They’re not. They’re a low quality bus service that costs as much as any of the other higher quality airlines. They get you to places that you don’t need to get to, only for you to spend much more on transport to your final destination. However millions of people use them every year only because they’ve been conned.
Interesting that O’Leary suggests Boeing should be making planes in 10 weeks not the 12-14 weeks quoted by the manufacturer. Considering the recent claims of short cuts and lack of attention to detail this doesn’t sound like a safe plan

He's loyal to Boeing for real cost savings and fungible staffing across his pilots; stick a couple of Airbuses in the mix and it breaks their "one plane for all" model. Whereas if they'd gone Airbus, their cockpit designs are pretty much the same across the entire fleet so maybe they wouldn't have ran into these issues? Who knows. I'd rather fly an Airbus than a Boeing.

They are a parent of its Lauda fleet.

Sure the pilot usually takes control during take-off and landing (and especially when weather /technical issue require). But cruise flying is easily done by 1 person. Put it another way. No reason why one of the pilots couldn't help out with in flight service and then return to the cockpit for landing. Really. No reason. I suspect the in-flght service is the way harder job. Dealing with people is just a thankless task.

If Ryanair do have an issue, their boarding plan doesn't lend itself well to using a jetbridge - i.e. not boarding via seat numbers hence it takes longer than it should when they do use a jetbridge. What happens if most of the 'speedy boarding' passengers are seated at the front of the aircraft and everyone boards thru the front door? Everytime I've used a jetbridge with Ryanair, the aircraft has departed late.
