think the market value is indeed the basis of the statement ....... Ryanair is presently valued at aprox 1.5 x the value of BA ...... guess that makes it fairly big! .....
updated for Feb. 10th valuations (report date). .MKT CAP in STG (millions). .BA - 2120. .Ryanair - 2938
("Big" as used above is probably the wrong word - "valuable" is probably a better choice)
