The Ryanair Group: From One Airline To Five

Several years ago, low-cost carrier Ryanair was a single Irish airline operating flights across Europe with its primary bases located in Dublin and at London Stansted. However, a lot has changed in the years since. An impressive five airlines now fall under the Ryanair Group umbrella, ranging from Polish carrier Buzz with its intriguing livery, to Malta-registered Lauda with some Airbus A320 family aircraft. Indeed, the airline group now has 500 aircraft with many more brand new 737 MAX jets on the way. Here's the story of how one huge airline became five large airlines.

I fly on Ryanair regularly and I heartily appreciate their low fares, extensive network, reliable service and consistent standards. I used to be frustrated by their drip-pricing booking system but they have moderated this practice and I, like most regular European flyers, have adapted to fare schemes that charge for additional baggage and services.

[@ice401557]

Fun fact: not all Buzz MAX's wear the Buzz livery. The ones based in Budapest, Hungary (like SP-RZK, RZL, RZI, RZO) wear the traditional Ryanair livery because of a court desicion that stated the brand Buzz can be easily mistaken with the rival Wizz which is also based in Budapest. It really makes no sense as Buzz and Wizz planes fly everywhere across the continent. :-D

[@iamtheAtomicPenguin]

Yeah, because a white and yellow airplane with a freakin cartoon BEE on the tailfin is so similar to a bright pink, blue and white one :D The only thing they share are the two Zs at the end of the name

[@Victor-oz3zo]

Wow thanks for the fun fact, I didn't know that! Is that a Hungarian court rule? And why didn't Ryanair object? The Buzz brand existed way before Wizzair even existed.

[@ice401557]

@@Victor-oz3zo yes, it is a Hungarian court decision where Wizz was the plaintiff. Until then Buzz was not shown on any corporate objects, planes were still flying as Ryanair planes but the crew outfit changed from the usual blue-yellow-white to the unindentifiable :-) burgundish-orange design and it was planned to introduce the Buzz trademark on the Hungarian market.

[@balazsbiro8091]

@@ice401557 the Buzz Airline started it's operation in 2017, while Wizz made it's first flight in 2004. The real reason (as far as I know) is the way of displaying the codes in the terminal building. Since most of the low-cost planes fly from the same sector of the airport it can be really confusing for the passengers. And if they use the regular Ryanair logo in the timetable and than boarding the passengers into the Buzz planes it can be confusing as well. But personally I think Wizz objected this name in order to makes sure that in the everyday life people won't get confused and wizz can keep it's well known status in the hungarians mind. The reason for that is the fact that Wizz is a hungarian company and since 2012 we don't have a national airline so I think most of the us tend to favorize Wizz.

[@bennramnarine3395]

Good Presentation

[@mikepowell2776]

I’ve flown with Ruinair and Buzz (as well as their real competitors Easyjet, Wizz and Vueling.) The Buzz flight was stated as Ryanair on all paperwork. According to e.dreams the flight (Krakow to Bristol) was operated on behalf of the Royal Air Force. I have yet to work that one out. The Max, by the way, feels noticeably more claustrophobic than the 800s although pitch is claimed to be similar.

Recently I booked a flight on the Ryanair website. I turned up to the airport, went through security and when I got to the gate my plane was at, it was a Lauda plane, with a red and white livery.

[@Godfranci]

I did fly on all of them! Lauda air, Malta air, Ryanair...Uk and Europe...And I don’t noticed any difference anymore more as I bought tickets over Ryanair air...I am only surprised sometimes when I see that there is an aircraft with a differen logo... Ryanair is for me at least, the best airlines in Europe if not the world. Why? I never flu with any other airline for that kind of a price like with them! Mine personal record for the ticket was 5 cents! So I start be thankful for them and I start Free marketing! . Soon after few flights long time ago I invite al my friends and family to fly with them. And most of them did it...even my sister who is on the wheel chair...she somehow put her fears on the side and try them! And we are all happy and after seeing your video I am happy for them that they grow and nearly everyone can fly now! And here is everything what I have to say about Ryanair if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpuZmpqao6iSfs0

[@SaraSpruce]

I haven't flown on Ryanair or any of its subsidiaries, although I am planning to fly to Warsaw on Buzz later this year. Nothing booked yet though. I did, however, fly on the original Lauda back before it was fully merged into Austrian, as well as on Niki, which at the time was an AirBerlin subsidiary and later merged into the current Ryanair-owned Lauda.

[@jakob.k_design]

The big question and actually interesting one has not been answerted in this video. Why did they split up the airline? Also why are there Ryanair flights operated by Malta Air if it is essentially the same airline.

[@schnitzelsemmel]

The acquisition of Lauda Air might seem odd, because it has a comparably old Airbus fleet, but that's exactly the reason why Ryanair bought it.

I have quite in-dept knowledge of the conflict as I have a long-lasting interest in geopolitics and conflictstudies. Of course I also know that the tensions in de Donbas region have been present for a long time and that there are both sides to the story. However, targeting civilians and hospitals, which has been proven to be true by Bellingcat and multiple newspapers, are nothing else but war crimes. But indeed, the Russian people have nothing to do with that. From what I have read, most people don't even know about the scale of the war in the first place.

Also A Hard/Firm landing is actually safer as it slows the plane down a softer landing can cause the plane to bounce back up and be faster therefore harder or longer distance to stop.

You are right in point out that along with low airfares comes basic service. But have you not noticed that most airlines are copying them by offering the same basic ticket prices, charging for baggage, selling food and drink? If you pay €50 or less for a return ticket you are paying a quarter or an eighth of what the legacy airlines used to charge for an economy ticket before Ryanair introduced low-cost. At those prices you pay less than you do for a taxi which will usually not offer a complementary drink.

[@eds.4815]

Once again simple flying examples poor reporting. Why did they not explain the business case for all of these subsidiaries?

[@neilpickup237]

Regardless of what Ryanair plan for their fleet in the future, the fact that they now operate A320 series aircraft would make a move over to Airbus much easier, more so if they converted a subsidiary at a time by re-allocating their 737s elsewhere within the group as new Airbus aircraft were delivered, rather than keeping them until they were due to be replaced. We know that Ryanair is no longer a single type operator, and presumably, because they were looking at Max10s, will forgo total interchangeability for selective extra capacity. Should this additional capacity become an essential part of their business planning, and the Max10 has certification problems - which, unless the current exemptions are extended, is almost a certainty, the program will be delayed significantly while changes are made to meet the latest requirements, or worst case scenario, abandoned! All of which will leave the A321 as the ONLY new aircraft option, in the short, or possibly longer term. A gap which could even remain in the Boeing offering until they eventually produce a clean sheet range of single aisle aircraft. All of that is pure speculation, and on the 'wild side' too, as such, while an announcement that Ryanair is moving to an Airbus only fleet would shock me, it does give Ryanair a far better hand during any negotiations.

I see you blocked my comment because I have no desire to ever set foot or anything then Ryanair produces for an airline. I prefer to sit my butt down in the first row first class and have someone take care of me. And if you think you’re actually getting a cheaper seat on Ryanair at the end of the day than you are on a normal carrier in coach you can’t add. But then that doesn’t surprise me it’s a case of innumeracy sort of like the lottery.

[@allasaloum5232]

Well, I will say the success of Ryanair it is just of a lie and it is happened by cheating on traveler and not paying their compensation of delays. I will advice any body to be careful and do not trust Ryanair. I can say this because of my first experience to try and fly with this bad company in all means.........

[@themomentchannel3498]

i hate RyanAir, like okay it’s a cool airline and you can’t expect much from a low cost carrier, but the service,hygiene, and staff behavior were way way below what you can even call a budget airline, also you gotta pay for literally everything so next time just book a flight on a traditional carrier

[@WeMuckAround]

You sound like someone that’s only read KZbin comments about Ryanair

[@martydas6233]

If you pay peanuts you'll get monkeys

[@interstellaraviator6437]

Nonsense. I fly Ryanair often from BGY and BUD and so far never disappointed, considering I pay 10-30 bucks for flight. Hygiene? So far acceptable level for 25 minutes turnaround. Service? Pay more! Impolite staff? Well, I fly mostly between BGY and BUD and have flown only to 6 other destinations once of twice. Maybe in UK or kn France they are impolite, but in my experience you respect them, they respect you. It is how it has to be. Follow guidance and you’ll have what you pay for (not without exceptions of coarse, anyway don’t expect too much for 20 bucks).

[@treyn8070]

How much does a single pack of peanuts run on Ryanair?

[@WeMuckAround]

@@martydas6233 …but you still get to where you want to go? I think everyone that criticises Ryanair overlooks that they are largely on-time and very, very efficient at what they do. If I buy a ticket for £20, I just want to get to my destination. I’m not expecting any monkeys

[@piotrrusecki2200]

Footage of Warsaw Modlin conjures up the worst memories. Avoid flying Ryanair to that airport at all cost. FYI Ryanair is the only user of that airport.

[@gulfbird5365]

This one is merely extortionate and opportunistic carrier , economical airliners are pretty renowned for their prematureness and seasonal or evenful grafting of passengers pockets

[@treyn8070]

It should have been called O'Brian air. 😂😂😂😂

[@MrTipperX]

Why tho?

[@patrickmccutcheon9361]

Ryanair was founded by a man called Tony Ryan not Tony O’Brien. Interestingly it did not start out as a low cost airline but rather one which offered an alternative to the Aer Lingus and BA duopoly with what some considered better looking and younger cabin crew. Only later did it adopt the low cost business model which made it what it is.

[@treyn8070]

@@MrTipperX it's Irish and O'Brian just sounds Irish to me.

[@MrTipperX]

@@treyn8070 I'm Irish and that makes no sense to me.
