Maybe they should just migrate to Eastern Europe where people will put up with their rubbish in return for low fares?

In ryanair business model lowest headline fares push up load factors and you do not have to worry about being nice to pax as there are many more lined up to replace any you upset.

In the real world many will try and fly with the best airline they can afford and avoid FR if possible.

This year FR load factors are
71.0
76.0
79.0
85.0
82.0
84.0
89.0
89.0
85.0

Easyjet load factors are
78.9
87.1
86.9
86.5
84.1
88.3
91.7
92.2
89.6

Ryanair load factors

As has been said many times in this forum, load factors are but one of a number of measures - its easy to fill a plane to get a high load factor - free seats could get you a 100% load factor. Its the total of what the passengers are paying that really matters and that makes a flight profitable or not.

Similarly total number of passengers carried is but one factor - there is no merit in carrying more passengers if they are not paying enough to cover the costs

Who is making the most money - Ryanair or Easyjet?

Ryanair profitability

One major element which is almost always overlooked in this issue is the question of subsidy by regional governments in the EU. (I know you are not allowed to call it subsidy but I cannot be bothered to write it in "quotation marks" to keep the lawyers happy.)

Currently, with Ryanair pulling out of Reus at the end of this month for the winter and also cutting back very substantially at Girona they should be receiving many fewer mega-Euros from the Generalitat de Catalunya; though as always the local press coverage (as of yesterday) was as clear as mud.

Presumably if the Catalans have finally got the message as to the true nature of the airline with whom they have got into bed, that penny will be dropping in the [2nd division but previously cash flush though now totally skint] chanceries all across Europe too.

It was his last flight for Ryanair and just wanted to cost them some money whilst having a bit of free practice prior to his sim session with his next employer.

Are you talking about tickets sold or passengers transported? That is a rather big difference in Ryanair's and - to a lesser extent - in Easyjet's case.

davidjohnson6,

No, as with Ryanair booking itself, the card fees are avoidable if you play it to the letter. But if you hand over money to this bank, and they do go under, you have lost all you put on the card, and that is what I understand happened with the last provider.

This card was initially going to be issues by a subsidiary of MasterCard, which would have been safe, now it is with a relatively unknown private bank, who might have been around for a couple of hundred years, but so were Barings.

There will be 3 new airports served in Italy by FR in the near future.

30 mln passengers in BGY so far. That's why he was there.

Ryanair one toilet per aircraft plan will make room for more seats | Mail Online
Ryanair will carry 75million passengers this year. Its longest UK route is from Rhodes to Liverpool, taking four hours and 25 minutes. Initially, though, the higher-capacity aircraft would be deployed on shorter routes

Summer 2012

Want to fly to MXP but they must come up with a good deal. Will not affect BGY ops. Want to base another aircraft at BGY and new routes next summer.

FR hope to open new routes from Hahn next summer. A tax reduction think to do with ATC.

They are staying in Berlin next summer.

Not so excellent apparently, it's gone . However, Jamie2k9 has put it in other words:
FR hope to open new routes from Hahn next summer.
Elsewhere:
Some folks from Poland say Ryanair is negotiating with new Warsaw Modlin Airport to start flying there, but no decision was made so far.
