Organisational Audit - point on SWOT, demographic influences and product positioning
Minutes for Meeting 1

Subject: SWOT
I spoke about the strengths that Ryan Air has, such as having acquired buzz. I said that since Ryan Air is expanding Eastwards at a steady pace this is a strength but a after some opinions from Maira Azzopardi and Nadine Grixti, I had come to realise that this is more of an opportunity. Maria Azzopardi also said that the fact that the website is available in more than 20 languages is also a strength. Nadine Grixti went over to say that booking flights over the internet is a strength , however after a discussion with Maria Azzopardi and Elenia Desira regarding how this is the only way to book flight she decided that this was if fact a weakness. Maria Azzopardi and I continued to discuss that Ryan Air avoid paying congestion fees and it will also remain the first low-cost airlines these were identified as strengths. Nadine Grixti continued by saying since Ryan Air does not have an office in Malta, this saved costs and is a strength for Ryan Air.
I said that since passengers have to pay for an extra services even for using the restroom this is a weakness for Ryan Air and also the fact that profits decreased could also prove to be a weakness as Ryan Air may have to cut down on certain services or products to make up for this loss. Nadine Grixti and Elenia Desira argued that since passengers must pay for their luggage this is also a sign of weakness, Nadine Grixti came up with the idea that Ryan Air should provide a package which includes luggage along with flights. Maria Azzopardi and Elenia Desira continued to say that this should not be obligatory since certain groups travel with only hand luggages. Maria Azzopardi said that since Ryan Air does not provide adequate Human Resources policies this may lead to an unmotivated workforce. Nadine Grixti said that the website is the only means of booking flights which is once again a weakness.
I spoke about the fact that Ryan Air can expand into various other regions while still

    Ryan Air started ‘small’ by initially focusing on the Dublin-London service four round trips per day with a 44-seat turboprop. At this time, they have yet to receive permission to fly larger jet aircraft on the route. They also focus on 2 main areas: First-rate customer service and simple, single-fare tickets with no restrictions. Additionally, Ryan Air would offer meals and amenities that were comparable to what is provided by Aer Lingus and British Airways.…

    In 1971, Southwest Airlines revolutionised air travel with its low fares and strong focus on customer service. Ryanair used Southwest’s innovative business model and have become very successful. Today it operates across 26 countries and carries more international passengers than any other airline in the world (73 million passengers in 2010/11) On the other hand, unlike Southwest Airlines, Ryanair did not consider focusing on customer service. They have a very poor reputation in this area (Euromonitor International, March 2009). Even though Ryanair holds its dominant position in the market and continues to increase its revenues every year, this will have a negative effect on its success in the long term.…

    United Airlines

    RyanAir stands out as it is the only low-cost carrier among the airlines examined. The strengths of this LCC compared to the “legacy carriers” such as Delta, United, and American is that the company serves only relatively short-haul routes throughout Europe which cost cheaper to operate and generally are not a huge loss in case of non-full flights. This allows for flight cost structure to be controlled easily and RyanAir has perfected the formula for offering cheaper flights to value-conscious consumers while realizing high margins for their flights. The disadvantages of RyanAir involve its network that is controlled in growth which only allows it to compete in the European market as opposed to the international market. The advantage of the legacy carriers compared to LCCs such as RyanAir involves the global network serviced by these airlines. American, United, and Delta are very strong not only domestically in the United States but internationally with service among 6 continents. The disadvantage of operating as many routes as a legacy carrier would is that profit margins would be lower as long-distance flights are less cost-effective than short-distance routes. On an investment standpoint, RyanAir should be a strong competitor in the market due to its business structure that allows it to maximize profits while maintaining a busy network…

    Despite being a hugely successful company, with revenues in 2013 of Euro:4,884 million, and profits of Euro:569 million, the ‘no-frills’ airline Ryanair has a number of problems. It regularly comes bottom, or near the bottom, of every major customer satisfaction survey, customers regularly use social media to complain about the dreadful quality of service, its belligerent CEO, Michael O’Leary, brushes aside any criticisms of his company, claiming that he gives customers what they want – cheap ‘no-frills’ flights with little quality service - and there is even a website called ‘I Hate Ryanair’ (see www.ihateryanair.org). But things are changing. In 2013 and 2014, faced with reductions in predicted profits, many shareholders, plus other key stakeholders, are asking Michael O’Leary many tough questions, and are demanding that Ryanair radically improves its levels of customer service, turns its negative publicity into positive publicity by managing its communications more effectively, plus radically improves its overall corporate reputation. Ryanair’s CEO O’Leary finally agreed, and made 2014 the year of change for Ryanair (see: www.ryanair.com/en/news/ryanair-announces-customer-service-improvements-over-next-6-months, plus also ww.thedrum.com/news/2014/01/17/ryanair-insists-it-s-changing-2014-weekly-twitter-chats-and-new-irish-ad).…
