Happy 21st birthday to Ryanair
I am told (if you measure the start up date of airline by its first scheduled flight) that today, 8th July, is Ryanair's 21st Birthday.
They operated their very first scheduled passenger flight on 8th July 1985, the aircraft, a Embraer Bandeirante (EI-BPI) flew from Waterford, Ireland to London Gatwick.
This date also marks 21 years of international scheduled passenger services for Waterford Airport.
Happy Birthday to them both !!
