It does what it says on the tin
Prune is full of personal opinions about Ryanair. We are all entitled to a view, but at the end of the day the business facts speak for themselves...
Air Travel is a business and Ryanair is an outstanding airline business, irrespective of whether you like their billionaire CEO, or the airline policies or not.
The airline has just about the newest fleet on the planet, has the best on time perfomance, the best lost luggage stats, the best flight cancellation stats, the lowest fares and the highest profits. Most airline execs including Mr Walsh would eat their hats to achieve that.
Ryanair is a public company, but like any other company if the owners - the shareholders - are not happy, there would be a swift removal of the CEO. MOL will leave when he chooses, I'm sure of that.
Lets not forget to acknowledge to role of the airport in successfully negotiating a deal with RYR, but neverthless BOH is still very fortunate to have a committed and successful LCC like Ryanair to build traffic and offer consumers choice. Long may their success continue, and long may the success of Ryanair's competition at BOH (all business needs strong competition).
On that topic lets see more easyjet at BOH, sustained long term growth is more likely to emanate from RYR/EZY who have established great global brands, than any other less well known source (although Wizz is starting to impress me).
Interesting that ezy are advertsining hard in the BOH area - Malaga, Nice and Faro - if TOM continue their strategy of the recent months, they may find themselves pushed out of Spain, Portugal and all but the more exotic destinations at BOH (and elsewhere) before long.
Wonder who will be offering BOH - Faro next year... if its going to be ezy they need to get their skates on! Nice would be nice too!
