Ryanair say their break even load factor is 55%. And they are masters at ancillary revenue, using dense 737s.
If they are making money carrying less than half a plane load of people at the fares they charge while paying for fuel, landing fees, crew costs, admin charges etc and all the other costs then well done. And if the load figures quoted are correct that means they should be on their way to making a healthy profit. Fantastic.
If this is true it’s wonderful and should allow plenty more routes to flourish.
oh for gods sake. The figures were wrong
load factor was more than 50%. SO SORRY TO CARRY SUCH DISSAPOINTING NEWS
