Not necessarily. If a seat is sold at £5 then £13 APD has to be paid in tax. That would be a loss of £8 if no chargeable items are purchased on top of the seat price. Therefore the extra charges are vital. So if people just purchase the basic fare with no extra items at anything below £13, its an automatic loss for Ryanair before you even factor in the costs of fuel, airport charges and staff etc regardless of the fact that "the A/C is going anyway".
