Ryanair-10
2001 revisited per chance. Airbus would love nothing better than a big order from Ryanair. Lauda is separate as always had Airbus but rest of fleet is a biggie.
More like do you care what aircraft looks like outside when you travelling from A to B because airline has zero intentions of spending €€€€€ to repaint it when it doesn't need it.
Marketing will hate it because Marketing likes to spend money, even it has no payback return then will use touch feely phrases to justify it.
If spending €100,000 repainting aircraft saved £1k per flight sector then yup it would be done.

If that was correct, all Ryanair Aircraft would be factor white, advertising is advertising, if someone was traveling through, say Stansted, and seen an MALTA AIR aircraft, they would know to look online for Malta Air from Stansted, there is no better advertising than a big colourful aircraft parked on stand.
Spending huge amounts of money to repaint aircraft when not needed is not good use of money, retrofitting anything costs money, if you could guarantee that in another brand you charge € extra then can justify it but lets face it you cannot.
Aircraft will morph into new brands over lifetime when new aircraft arrive. Better to save millions when nobody really will care what it looks like as long as Fare is reasonable / flight arrives on time.

But they are painted Ryanair already, done when purchased as part of the deal. If you want to fly from Stansted to Malta and you look on Ryanair you will still buy but does it matter if it says Ryanair / Malta / Buzz or all in white on the outside ?

Would expect Ryanair to start Exeter to Dublin, Bournemouth to Belfast, Isle of Man to UK and a few others (Southend to Belfast?) to plug what could be profitable routes left open by Flybe, no?
However I doubt Ryanair will pick up a single route from this. Possibly expansion into SOU in the future but they already at BOH.

At least a few of the Polish and Maltese aircraft will be due a repaint this year. So they will either be rebranded, or simply given a fresh coat of Ryanair.
Official today Mr MOL states that he (FR) will not go in to SOU (talking about the Flybe collapse) as his aircraft are too big.

Hello Mr Knee-Jerk! One thing FR do well is keep their B737s external appearance clean and well maintained. You can easily tell that many of them are frequently repainted, albeit into standard billboard Ryanair colours. This is what happens when you keep tweaking the livery, the B737-800s are on their second livery, which has had a few angled and breast sized related tweaks 😁

An airline that could take up some of the routes where the 737-800 have proved to large, or to airports where the runways are to short. A situation that will only get worse with the Max.
Would give them another leg to balance on. With the management, capital, systems and expertise backing of the rest of the group such an aiirline might even make a profit in the regional market.
If not for CoVid-19 they could easily afford it.
Current B73H fleet :
Ryanair 304
Malta Air 100
Ryanair Sun / Buzz 39
Ryanair UK 1
Setting aside Lauda, 32% of the B73H fleet has been moved out of Irish registry.
Huge change from one size uniformity fitting all markets under one brand, with varying employment contracts.
Are they really gonna have 107 (planned) Malta Air B73Hs? Are they really not just going to be sold as Ryanair but flown as 9H- out of a Maltese shell company? Can’t see them re-branding all of these transferred aircraft!

What's the purpose of the Malta brand to Ryanair ? It's not really visible to customers and has little or no identity of its own. Is it just Ryanair-but-lower-staff-salaries, or is it intended to have a public-facing image different to FR ?
I think you've answered your own question. Plus a very generous corporate tax rate, despite the EU's hypocrisy over level playing fields.
