Ryanair is an Irish ultra-low-cost carrier founded in 1984.
It is headquartered in Swords, Dublin, Republic of Ireland, and has its primary operational bases at Dublin and London Stansted airports.
It forms the largest part of the Ryanair Holdings family of airlines and has Ryanair UK, Buzz, Lauda Europe, and Malta Air as sister airlines.
Ryanair has grown from strength to strength and now operates in over 30 countries in Europe and Northern Africa as well as flying in and out of 180 airports.
Almost a quarter of the EU airports served by Ryanair are likely to be loss-making and propped up by taxpayers’ money which is used to subsidise airlines’ rapidly growing emissions, according to a new report.
