This event saw the formation of the foundations of the Ryanair we know today. This is when Ryanair moved to a single aircraft fleet, in addition to scrapping onboard meals. In , Ryanair moved its London base to Stansted Airport. This was clearly an important moment for the airline as, even today, Stansted is their largest hub airport. In , the airline became an all-Boeing airline. In January , Ryanair launched its first website. The website was soon taking 50, bookings a week and Ryanair decided to make it the only place to buy tickets.
In , things really became serious for the airline. Their order of 45 Boeing s was upped to with more options. A year later the airline acquired Buzz, a brand it hopes to reignite later this year.
Towards the end of the decade, in , the airline was carrying By , Ryanair had amassed a fleet of Boeing aircraft. In the Irish airline announced it was planning to speed up paying flight delay claims. Their intention was to bring the average wait time for passengers from 28 days to just Even though sorting out all these claims for flight delays or cancellations can be complicated, Ryanair has continued to perform well.
They will almost always charge you extra for any kind of add-on and, whomever you ask, everyone has had an unpleasant experience with Ryanair. Nevertheless, if you follow their rules you can get great value from your cheap ticket, without any trouble at all. Ryanair only flies the same model of aircraft, the Boeing After getting a quote of around three and a half million pounds, the Irish carrier decided for instead having two students set it up for twenty thousand.
Ryanair has seen its ads banned for reasons such as showing a model wearing a bathing suit whilst advertising destinations, the likes of Oslo and Glasgow, where temperatures would not be warm enough to guarantee passengers could enjoy some sunshine and relax at the beach while sporting only some swimwear.
You will hear this very often. This results in frequent delays and cancellations if one pilot falls ill or if their leave is not covered accordingly.
This was the case back in Passengers were entitled to compensation. Earlier this year in Manchester, a drunken chef heading to Tenerife refused to take his seat and let the aircraft take off. This resulted in the ire of his fellow passengers as the plane had to go back to the gate so that he could get, promptly if we may add, kicked off the flight and arrested.
The plane missed its departing time slot and therefore had to wait a considerable amount of time before it could take off. This incident is considered an extraordinary circumstance and Ryanair did not have to pay compensation its passengers. Back in , the pilot of the Ryanair flight from Liverpool to Derry mistook the military base, Ballykelly airfield, for the tarmac at City of Derry Airport.
Passengers were allowed to disembark and were taken to the airport by coach. To finish up, Ryanair would later recognise that the error came to be solely due to pilot error. We took delivery of a further 15 new aircraft to bring our fleet to Boeing s and placed firm orders with Boeing for new aircraft.

We carry a record In March we accept delivery of our th Boeing and launch our Web check-in service, giving passengers the opportunity to check-in online across our entire route network. We also become the first airline to announce plans for onboard mobile phone use across our entire fleet and we announce a new base in Bremen. In October Ryanair gaming and bingo is launched and we make an all cash offer for the small regional airline, Aer Lingus while November sees the opening of new bases in Madrid in Marseille.
We retire the remaining aircraft and replace them with brand new Boeing s. We now have the youngest fleet in the world with an average aircraft age of just two years. Our punctuality is also second to none, and we celebrate beating Easyjet for punctuality every week for three years solid.
To celebrate our 20 th birthday, we offer , seats at 99p, times less than our fare!. Ryanair is named the most popular airline on the web for by Google, as www. We add 24 new B aircraft 60 in total and retire another 5 of the older s. Rapid expansion of Ryanair right across Europe continues. We acquire Buzz, the Stansted based loss making airline from KLM in April, we close it for a month and then re-launch on 13 former Buzz routes in May at half the fares previously charged by Buzz.
This acquisition gives Ryanair immediate access to 11 new French regional airports as well as making Ryanair by far and away the largest airline operating at London Stansted Airport. We also open up two new Continental European bases with the launch of low fare flights from Milan Bergamo in February and from Stockholm Skavsta in April. In total this year we launch 73 new routes, we take delivery of 14 more Bs 42 in total and retire the first 7 of our 21 older Bs at the end of the year.
We carry over 2m. These first low fare flights to Germany bring an end to the high fare monopoly of Lufthansa. German consumers flock in their millions to avail of the lowest air fares to and from Frankfurt. To accommodate this growth, Ryanair announces the largest ever aircraft order by an Irish airline by increasing our aircraft order with Boeing from 45 to firm aircraft, with a further options.
