I have been looking at the load factors of both airlines over the past 12 months, and it seems EZY are filling their planes up better than FR.
Ryanair may have the biggest fleet, the largest aircraft and carry the most passengers, but one thing EZY has over FR is that it has a more lean business, and can attract more income and better passenger loads than FR.
Pax loads:
FR: 82% (155 passengers)
EZY: 84.3% (132 passengers)
Also in the past 12 months (rolling), EZY has made a total revenue of GBP 1,709,000,000. That equates to GBP 49.47 per passenger.
Does anybody know the FR total revenue?
Cheers.
