"I see in the news that Michael o Leary has decided to base all ryanairs new aircraft outside of the UK because he didn't like the referendum result. Has he spat his dummy or is he right on his decision on this? Discuss folks.... " Personally I wouldn't fly Ryannair if Mr O'leary paid me. And if he really dislikes the UK's decision he can f**k off with his old shit as well. I am sure we have enough UK friendly budget airlines to fill the Irish void .... | |||

Has he spat his dummy or is he right on his decision on this? Discuss folks.... " Spat his dummy out, plain and simple. O'Leary was a leading front figure in the Remain campaign, he even appeared on an episode of BBC Question Time campaigning for Remain. Now the country has voted Leave he has well and truly spat his dummy, if he wants to pick up his ball and take it elsewhere into Europe I'm sure plenty of other good competitive budget airlines will love to fill the space he leaves behind in the UK, especially with expansion soon coming up at Gatwick or Heathrow. | |||

" this is not new news.... he actually said thats exactly what would happen if the vote went that way 3 weeks before the vote.... the reasoning behind it is utlising the planes on the most popular routes and if certain planes are based in certain countries then tariffs may end up being applied on them | |||

I am confident that he has made his decision based on what is best for Ryanair , not on the result of the Brexit vote He has done a fantastic job for aviation and will continue to do so. | |||

It's not value for money by any stretch of the imagination, it's just plain cheap the way eating dog shit for dinner can save the cost of a McDonald's. If you do go for the experience, expect constant in flight announcements to stop you from sleeping, bullshit like them trying to sell you perfume, then trying to sell you scratch scards, then more perfume again. They are praying for you to make a mistake, not printed your boarding pass- ah that will be a charge more than the flight itself. Your luggage is 1 gram over our limit, more money please. I couldn't care less what they do, other than being delighted if they shut down to stop inflicting their misery on the world. | |||

I just don't understand the point he is trying to make. Has anyone ever got to the airport and said I'm not getting on that, its not as new as some planes I've seen.

" I didn't really understand the original claim to be honest. There are no commercial planes entirely made in the UK anyway. Just some airbus wings and rolls-Royce engines." In fairness every wing for every Airbus aircraft is made here in the UK. We actually design them here as well. As for RR they are the sole supplier of engines for every A350 and A330neo aircraft. They also supply over 55% of all engines for the A380. Apart from Russia no country entirely builds commercial aircraft any more. Even Boeing have about 60% of the new 787 made abroad and assembled in the USA. We live in a world of Global Supply Chains and thankfully the UK is a very big part of many of them. | |||

" I didn't really understand the original claim to be honest. There are no commercial planes entirely made in the UK anyway. Just some airbus wings and rolls-Royce engines. In fairness every wing for every Airbus aircraft is made here in the UK. We actually design them here as well. As for RR they are the sole supplier of engines for every A350 and A330neo aircraft. They also supply over 55% of all engines for the A380. Apart from Russia no country entirely builds commercial aircraft any more. Even Boeing have about 60% of the new 787 made abroad and assembled in the USA. We live in a world of Global Supply Chains and thankfully the UK is a very big part of many of them. China, Brazil and Canada also do design and final assembly, not sure if they build engines themselves. I'd imagine Canada don't but I would have thought China did? " China have a Final Assemly Line for Airbus A320 and soon A330 aircraft for internal use (as the USA has an FAL for US A320s). They are looking to build a commercial airliner but none have flown. Yes you are right I should have mentioned Embraer in Brazil as they build A319 / A320 competitors using US or RR engines, have prototypes on test and have sold orders. As for Bombardier of Canada they make wings, fuselages, engine cowlings etc in Belfast for final assembly in Canada so again yes you are right. They also supply Airbus from Belfast with engine nacelles. And of course in Derby Bombardier build most of our trains! | |||

I'm sure Ryanair will continue to trade without your £19:99 (one way excl taxes) Knocking Ryanair is a bit of a lazy trope isn't it?, if I buy a £10 steak I expect a £10 steak if I buy a £30 steak I expect a £30 one. Between online only booking, online check in, printing your own boarding pass/QR code on your phone Ryanair has led while others have followed, you don't have to jump through any more hoops than you would with a flag carrier. | |||

I am confident that he has made his decision based on what is best for Ryanair , not on the result of the Brexit vote He has done a fantastic job for aviation and will continue to do so. " We have to agree. We regularly use Ryanair between Dusseldorf Weeze and Alicante. The aircraft are all modern new (ish) 737's, not over 20 years old like some other budget carriers I could name. Comfort is very similar to economy class on most other budget airlines and they are nearly always on time, the best record in Europe I believe. Since Easyjet pulled out of Dortmund our only alternative is Air Berlin and sometimes I think a private jet would be cheaper, and most of their flights are via Palma making a 2 and a half hour flight into nearly 5 hours As an example we have flights booked with Ryanair for 14th Nov - 4th Dec at 138€ for two people return. Air Berlin wanted over 300€ each. To be fair Ryanair can be a bit picky with the rules (although they are getting better) but it's not rocket science. If you are too stupid to check your bag weight and print your boarding card correctly you get what you deserve. | |||

To keep the discussion factual all of Ryannair aircraft are registered in the Irish Republic and all carry 'EI-' registrations. All he has done is made some uninteresting comments about using older aircraft for British passengers because we voted to leave the EU. Its made him look a rather nasty minded old bigot to be honest. O'Leary is a clever man and a manipulator and has every right to do as he pleases. But please do not try and link his activities with anything to do with the EU vote or a later Brexit. His operations here will be as now as long as the EU (which he so avidly supports and we all know why) does not try and penalise UK based airlines. If they do we will retaliate and EU based foreign airlines like O'Leary's will pay the price. So its down to EU politics not Brexit itself that will determine how Mr O'Leary fares.... | |||

"I see in the news that Michael o Leary has decided to base all ryanairs new aircraft outside of the UK because he didn't like the referendum result. Has he spat his dummy or is he right on his decision on this? Discuss folks.... He runs an extremely successful airline and is accountable to the shareholders in Ryanair . I am confident that he has made his decision based on what is best for Ryanair , not on the result of the Brexit vote He has done a fantastic job for aviation and will continue to do so. Sounds like some one who has a vested interest in Ryan air to me, if it's a reasonable cheap flight that want, my 1st choice is always jet2 and the harp playing self centred moaning crap customer service of Ryan air 2nd I think I would prefer the self centred moaning crap customer service from an airline with an average aircraft age of 6.4 years old to an extra smile or two from an airline whose average aircraft age is 21.9 years old. Some of Jet 2's are over 25." In fairness some of O'Leary's are 17 years old. Aircraft are perfectly safe and can be a pleasure to fly in regardless of age. It is the maintenance and regulatory regimes that keep us safe. Some Boeing 747s are very much older but are still safe. The Operator may just be trading off higher operating costs (fuel / maintenance) against lower capital costs. The USAF are operating Boeing 707 (called KC-135) air tankers that are over 40 years old. | |||

It's about maintenance maintenance maintenance with planes, newer ones give better efficiency and profit not really safety, that's providing you do the maintenance "Yup, just look at the cars in your socialist paradise of Cuba, the youngest car there was imported in 1959... | |||
