Extracts :
An analysis of internal aviation industry data has uncovered the full extent to which Ryanair has overhauled its low fares business model.
The analysis, provided by specialist aviation industry website anna.aero, illustrates the extent to which the airline is abandoning its old policy of pursuing growth primarily by flying to secondary airports located miles from major cities.
Using data obtained from Innovata, the company to which most global airlines report changes to their route networks, the website has found that Ryanair axed 222 routes for this summer, even after launching 138 new routes. Most of the routes axed are to outlying airport.
The analysis underscores how much the airline is shifting its capacity to some of the biggest airports in major European cities, which it typically eschewed until the company changed its model last year after a series of profit warnings.
Using analysis of all of Ryanair’s routes for August 2014 compared with the same month last year, anna.aero says Ryanair axed its flights from 10 European airports, including Doncaster in England, as well as several tiny airports in southern Sweden. Capacity has been dramatically scaled back at scores of other airports. Another 10 airports have been added to its network, most of which are the main airports at some of the biggest cities in Europe, such as Rome’s Fiumicino, Brussels, Athens, Lisbon and Prague.
