A couple of years ago Ryanair used to break down the price of a ticket and if I remember correctly the portion attributable to EU261 compensation was €2.50/£2.50 per passenger. Now based on their estimated passenger figure of 90m for 2015 that gives them a figure of between €225,000,000 and £225,000,000 additional revenue and most of it pure profit. How much have they paid out in EU261 claims? No wonder everyone envies their business model.
