Ryanair Holdings PLC

The availability of low-cost air travel has changed the world as we know it. Leading the charge is Ryanair. Based out of Dublin, the over four hundred-strong airplane fleet serves more than thirty destinations in Europe and the Middle East. The airliner operates several subsidiaries, including RyanAtlantic, Ryanair Sun and Laudamotion. Ryanair was founded in 1984 by Tony Ryan, Liam Lonergan and Christopher Ryan. Ryanair stock, RYA.L, became available for trade on the NASDAQ on June 6, 1997. It has become popular with some investors, due to the airliner’s rapid expansion and the perceived potential for growth, as air travel becomes more affordable around the world. Around 20% of the airliner’s profits come from ancillary revenue. Ryanair has suffered its share of criticism regarding a tumultuous relationship with its unionised workforce. Threats and sabre rattling have caused Ryanair to cancel scheduled flights, stranding passengers and creating negative publicity. Allegedly, the Irish airliner has accused the union of making excessive demands, while the union accuses Ryanair management of neglect and poor working conditions.
