    As mentioned before, Europe has around three thousand short-haul airlines meaning that the competition of easyJet can be very wide. Although, the main threat in terms of competition for easyJet is the low-cost Irish company named Ryanair. This company bases its competitive strategy in “cost leadership” approach (supply same service at lower cost) and is double the size of easyJet in terms of profit. It covers the main destinations of Europe offering around 27 different countries and main cities in every country. From 2011 to 2012 Ryanair had an increase in profit after tax of 25% leading to a new record of €503 million. On the other hand, easyJet in 2012 got €255 million of profit after tax (half of Ryanair`s profit).…

    In 1971, Southwest Airlines revolutionised air travel with its low fares and strong focus on customer service. Ryanair used Southwest’s innovative business model and have become very successful. Today it operates across 26 countries and carries more international passengers than any other airline in the world (73 million passengers in 2010/11) On the other hand, unlike Southwest Airlines, Ryanair did not consider focusing on customer service. They have a very poor reputation in this area (Euromonitor International, March 2009). Even though Ryanair holds its dominant position in the market and continues to increase its revenues every year, this will have a negative effect on its success in the long term.…

    There were a lot of problems that Ryanair had to face throughout a year; dealing with these problems led them to have a bad name within the press and media. As Ryanair entered the second half of 2007, fuel prices, compensation to passengers, terrorism and security, industrial relations and safety issues were big challenges. Ryanair’s motto was “we guarantee out customers no fuel surcharges, not today, not tomorrow, and not ever.” This began to cause a major problem when the fuel prices throughout the economy began to rise. Ryanair’s fuel costs represented 35 percent of operating costs in 2006, compared to 27 percent in 2005. Although, they promised their customers they would not be charged for rising fuel costs, the airline found themselves paying an absurd amount for barrels of oil. They paid $70 a barrel up to October 2006 and $73 to $74 dollars a barrel up to March of 2007. When it came to compensation to passengers, Ryanair’s compensation costs amounted to 200 million dollars annually. Not only were they fighting fuel prices but they were handing out money left and right to customers for cancellations of flights, meals, refreshments and hotel compensation. With September 11 terrorist attacks Ryanair had to cancel 279 flights in the days after the incident and had to refund 2.7 million dollars in fares to 40,000 passengers. With this, the lost 1.9 million dollars in reduced bookings, another downfall to the 9/11 attacks were increased insurance costs for all the commercial airlines, which meant that the ticket fares had to be increased so they did not suffer anymore financial loss. O’Leary, the CEO stated “the terrorists must be rolling around in their caves in Pakistan laughing at us.”…

    O’Leary has brought Ryanair from nowhere to become the continents largest carrier, his no frills low cost service has helped make air travel affordable to most people. His unorthodox approach to business includes turning the usual airline airport agreement by persuading some airports to pay him for the privilege of handling Ryanair passengers. His rise from a tax account to the maverick of European air travel is unrivalled by most in business today. He is a straight Talking, non-suited, foul-mouthed individual, that shots straight from the hip and his explicitly hostile attitude towards corporate competitors, airport authorities, governments and unions. One advantage of this controversial approach is the huge free publicity it generates.…

    Despite being a hugely successful company, with revenues in 2013 of Euro:4,884 million, and profits of Euro:569 million, the ‘no-frills’ airline Ryanair has a number of problems. It regularly comes bottom, or near the bottom, of every major customer satisfaction survey, customers regularly use social media to complain about the dreadful quality of service, its belligerent CEO, Michael O’Leary, brushes aside any criticisms of his company, claiming that he gives customers what they want – cheap ‘no-frills’ flights with little quality service - and there is even a website called ‘I Hate Ryanair’ (see www.ihateryanair.org). But things are changing. In 2013 and 2014, faced with reductions in predicted profits, many shareholders, plus other key stakeholders, are asking Michael O’Leary many tough questions, and are demanding that Ryanair radically improves its levels of customer service, turns its negative publicity into positive publicity by managing its communications more effectively, plus radically improves its overall corporate reputation. Ryanair’s CEO O’Leary finally agreed, and made 2014 the year of change for Ryanair (see: www.ryanair.com/en/news/ryanair-announces-customer-service-improvements-over-next-6-months, plus also ww.thedrum.com/news/2014/01/17/ryanair-insists-it-s-changing-2014-weekly-twitter-chats-and-new-irish-ad).…
