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. Ryanair’s strategy to launch a single far no restriction ticket at such a low price will gain market share quickly as well as possibly

Ryanair was founded in 1985 by the Ryan family to provide scheduled passenger airline services between Ireland and the UK‚ as an alternative to the then state monopoly carrier‚ Aer Lingus. It started out a full service conventional airline‚ with two classes of seating and leasing three different types of aircraft.

Examining Ryanair’s Launch Strategy Ryanair was set up in 1985 by Cathal and Declan Ryan‚ as one of the first independent airline servicing the Dublin-London (Luton) route. Ryanair launched its service focusing on delivering first-rate customer service and lowest – simple‚ single – fare @ I£ 98‚ compared to I£ 208 full fare and I£ 99 discounted fare offered by competition‚ Aer Lingus and British Airways. Ryanair Executives believe that Aer Lingus and British Airways’ flights are typically 60-70%

Assessment of Ryanair’s launch strategy One possible reason why Ryanair chose to enter the Dublin-London route is because the route was reputed to be quite lucrative for both Aer Lingus and BA. It is easy to see why this route is lucrative because the least expensive fare for both carriers were priced at I£208 but operating expenses per passenger was only I£155.1.

What do your overall assessment of Ryanair’s strategy? Although the strategy of Ryanair seems sound‚ I don’t expect it to succeed on the Dublin-London route. By matching service and amenities but pricing well below Air Lingus and BA‚ Ryanair stands to steal customers up to capacity of it’s 44-seat turboprop 4 times a day. This loss of customers‚ though small at this point‚ could likely elicit a strong response from both AL and BA. The Dublin-London route represents one of the few lucrative routes
