In April 1986‚ the Ryan brothers announce that Ryanair will offer service between Dublin and London‚ a route dominated by Aer Lingus and British Airways. AL and BA offer a range of tickets with varying restrictions and varying classes of service‚ but the least expensive‚ unrestricted round-trip fares were priced at IL208‚ far higher than the IL98 that Ryan Air announced.
