Currently much cheaper for me to go out & back to Ed Towers from London Luton with Easy Jet instead of my preferred Ryanair from Bristol (2 hours extra travelling, = +4 hours extra for my wife when she's picking us up and not travelling with us on the way back).

4 tickets = saving £150

If they can't afford Ryanair, they might aswell stay at home or go camping

Easyjet and British Airways had better start copying Ryanair

or change their names to easyLosses and sTop loss Co


I only wish that the CEO's of all the companies i hold, were as focused on cutting costs as Michael O'Leary.

Profits at Ryanair rival Easyjet slumped almost 65pc in its financial year to the end of September to £44m (€49.7m), as higher fuel costs ate into increased passenger revenues.

Easyjet chief executive Andy Harrison yesterday claimed Ryanair treated its own passengers like "cargo" as he predicted Easyjet has a "tough winter ahead", but that it will make a "substantial profit improvement" in 2010.

"I have been telling everyone that would listen for the past year that this do-or-die mission O'Leary is on to buy more and more aircraft will end in tears for his shareholders," said EasyJet founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou.

"My suggestion now, as he will not find enough passengers to fill his 100 additional aircraft, is to buy a piece of the Mojave Desert in California and start an aviation museum for his old aircraft. It could be another ancillary revenue stream idea for him alongside his charging for the loo."

I check the Ryanair site for 'our' flight every couple of days as in the past this has enabled us to go abroad cheaply & frequently to our holiday place.

Noticed they've been tightening up 'our' fare over the last couple of months - ie fewer bargain deals - I wonder if it is widespread or just our route?

Nomura Securities was disappointed with interim results from no frills airline Ryanair and has lowered its earnings forecasts to reflect a decline in ancillary revenues per passenger across the rest of the year.

[lbo] 03/11/2009 13:59

results were "heavily distorted" by a 42 per cent drop in fuel costs, which masked a 17 per cent decline in average fares.

And a further 20 per cent fall over the rest of the year will result in losses for the last two quarters.

Wyn Ellis, analyst at Numis Securities, said the results from Ryanair were below expectations and predicted: "A difficult winter lies ahead."

recent rise in oil price is main driver for recent sell of of the airline sector

it is clear which airlines are in a much stronger position than the BAY's of this world

[bongo bwana] 02/11/2009 13:25

Phew!

Hes some performer.

One to watch!!!

So what are the negatives causing the sell-off? Surely not the reduced revenues per passenger as that is a clear part of the strategy, pile 'em high and sell 'em cheap.
