Resources and capabilities
In 2006 Ryanair was in ownership of a total of 103 Boeing 737 aircraft, and also a set order to increase this number by 138 in the next six years. Currently its fleet flies out from 127 destinations. Ryanair replaced its old fleet with new more efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft and has the youngest fleet of any major airline with an age of just 2.4 years. The new aircraft were effective in increasing efficiency as there was no need for extra staff and the emissions on the new fleet were 50% lower than before, there was also a decrease of 45% in fuel burn and noise emissions per seat. Ryanair has managed to maintain a strong relationship with all of its hubs during the increase and modernisation of its fleet, this is partly because of Ryanair’s growing status as one of the most reliable and popular airlines.
