Actually you can also fly for £200 less with a full service airline and still get the free lager. I'm NOT kidding !

Bearcat - completely agree but they get nada from me. Strangely, I've managed to keep life and limb together for the hour or so I am onboard without recourse to the over priced trash available. If I think there is a possibility I can't make it without food or water for a short haul, I've found that most Ryanair planes leave from shopping centres anyway (certainly in UK), so I buy what I need as I make my way to the gate at greatly reduced prices.

Any of you guys in Ryanair know the name of the Cypriot company being used to Lease aircraft from?
It should be stamped on a plaque somewhere in the cockpit (usually).

How many aircraft do they have on lease altogether?

If ryanair is to go bankrupt it will take quite a few quarters of poor results. It is a real possiblity in my view as they have far too many planes on order. They can sell off the older planes but are getting millions less than expected for each plane. Ryanair is still very dependant on UK passengers and we will soon be fed up of paying £5 a pint when we go away for a weekend.

Ryanair needs to take over weaker airlines so that it can use the planes on order. The Easyjet - GB deal was a great way for them to get some growth and use up some planes.

I got the closuer of Silverjet spot on but FR is too complex to predict. It is very dependant on what deals happens with oil prices, excahnge rates and general market conditions. Maybe one of the online bookes could offer some odds. bankrupt in 2013 would be most likley but still only 10 to 1 in my view.

Ryanair continues to post record margins overall - the highest margins of any airline in the world.

I think people who hate us love to talk this rubbish, but fact is and will remain we are one of the most profitable airlines in the world.

uncontained growth, further hikes in oil, terrorism can dent but never prevent travel and low cost growth. you should be turning your attention to the likes of Alitalia. they are being propped up for emotional reasons. Nothing more.

we're a business, we continue to innovate and will lead /help other low cost airlines such as those in asia

befree, My six year old could have predicted the failure of Silverjet, Ryanair is a major airline, not the local flying club.
They are sitting on half the purhase price of the entire order, nice place to be. I agree, they will have to work hard to keep making money in the recesion. They may also find it harder to sell off some of the older aircraft, but that is business. In this day and age, all airlines are at risk but I think Ryanair are better placed than most.

I really don't think Ryanair would go bust and it would be a disaster for the industry and local economies at many airports if they did. As for problems over off-loading their older fleet, don't forget they are starting the process of seeking offers from Boeing and Airbus for future fleet replacements. I'm 100% sure that the winning manufacturer acquiring the existing older fleet would form part of any such deal. Ryanair may be crass but they are not stupid...
