Ryanair plc had more money at the start of the year than at the end. Stop defending the indefensible.
Expensive aircraft - Not really when considered in relative terms.

Low Load - Definitely Not.
Low Yield - Possibly.

Expensive Airspace - Possibly but the airports being flown to are certainly not.

"bigus dikus competition with Aer Lingus." - Possibly.

Debatable, without the money lost through the aerlingus 'exercise' a profit was actually made by the business.

(Edited to change my response to the loss making quote.)
