Introduction Ryanair is one of the most profitable low-cost and low-fare airlines in the world. Even though it was merely bankruptcy in 1991‚ it could stand up and become very successful by 1999.

In April 1986‚ the Ryan brothers announce that Ryanair will offer service between Dublin and London‚ a route dominated by Aer Lingus and British Airways. AL and BA offer a range of tickets with varying restrictions and varying classes of service‚ but the least expensive‚ unrestricted round-trip fares were priced at IL208‚ far higher than the IL98 that Ryan Air announced. Ryanair’s strategy to launch a single far no restriction ticket at such a low price will gain market share quickly as well as possibly

Ryanair was founded in 1985 by the Ryan family to provide scheduled passenger airline services between Ireland and the UK‚ as an alternative to the then state monopoly carrier‚ Aer Lingus. It started out a full service conventional airline‚ with two classes of seating and leasing three different types of aircraft.

Assessment of Ryanair’s launch strategy One possible reason why Ryanair chose to enter the Dublin-London route is because the route was reputed to be quite lucrative for both Aer Lingus and BA. It is easy to see why this route is lucrative because the least expensive fare for both carriers were priced at I£208 but operating expenses per passenger was only I£155.1. Ryanair’s publicized fare of only I£98 will help it to attract more passengers than both carriers given that it cost only half the

What do your overall assessment of Ryanair’s strategy? Although the strategy of Ryanair seems sound‚ I don’t expect it to succeed on the Dublin-London route. By matching service and amenities but pricing well below Air Lingus and BA‚ Ryanair stands to steal customers up to capacity of it’s 44-seat turboprop 4 times a day. This loss of customers‚ though small at this point‚ could likely elicit a strong response from both AL and BA. The Dublin-London route represents one of the few lucrative routes
