Ryanair swings back into profit
Tuesday, 1 June 2010 8:56 UK
Ryanair has reported pre-tax profits of 341m euros (£289m; $419m) for the year to March, bouncing back from its first annual loss this time last year.
The Irish budget airline also said it planned to pay a one-off dividend to shareholders totalling 500m euros - the first dividend it has paid.
Passenger numbers were up 14% on last year, while revenue rose 2%.
But the airline said disruption caused by volcanic ash, not covered in the results, would cost about 50m euros.

Ryanair Welcomes EU Court Ruling That it Can Retain Its 29.8% Stake in Aer Lingus
Ryanair, the world’s favorite airline, today (6 July) welcomed the EU Court’s confirmation of the European Commission’s 2007 decision that it can not force Ryanair to sell its shareholding in Aer Lingus. Ryanair also noted the Court’s decision to reject Ryanair’s appeal of the EU Commission’s decision to block Ryanair’s 2006 offer for Aer Lingus. Ryanair is currently studying the details of this 125 page judgment.
The EU Competition Commissioner, Neelie Kroes, said on 27 June 2007 that “Since Ryanair is not in a position to exert de jure or de facto control over Aer Lingus, the European Commission is not in a position to require Ryanair to divest its minority shareholding, which is, by the way, not a controlling stake.”
Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
“We welcome today’s ruling of the EU General Court which confirms that Ryanair can not be forced to dispose of its 29.8% shareholding in Aer Lingus. This is the third time since 2007 that Aer Lingus has lost appeals on this issue.
We note the Court’s decision on our appeal against the EU Commission’s ruling on our 2006 offer for Aer Lingus. This will not prevent Ryanair making a future offer for Aer Lingus, but obviously any such offer will have to take account of the court’s detailed ruling. Ryanair has no immediate plans to make a third offer for Aer Lingus, which in any event would be unlikely to succeed unless the Irish Govt decides to sell its 25% stake.
Ryanair regrets however, that since the rejection of our two previous offers for Aer Lingus, both of which contained guarantees on growing Aer Lingus’ traffic, fleet, jobs and profitability Aer Lingus has become a small peripheral regional airline with declining traffic, fleet, jobs and is reporting substantial losses.
We continue to believe that the long term financial viability of Aer Lingus can only be secured as part of one strong Irish airline group, particularly when the rest of Europe’s airlines are consolidating to three main flag carriers, lead by Air France, British Airways and Lufthansa and two large low fares carriers, Ryanair and easyjet. Unless Aer Lingus finds a strong airline partner then we believe it is doomed to fail because it can’t compete with Ryanair’s low fares, customer service or scale.”

Dutch Court Bans Internet Reseller Wegolo From Selling Ryanair Flights
Ryanair, the world’s favourite airline, today (29th July) welcomed a landmark victory in the Dutch (Utrecht) Courts which ruled that copying flight information from Ryanair’s website for the purpose of reselling flights by internet reseller Wegolo is unlawful.
The Dutch court ruled that the extraction of flight data from Ryanair’s website breached Ryanair’srights under Dutch Copyright law. It also found that Wegolo can have a negative impact on Ryanair's website and damage Ryanair's reputation for offering the lowest fares in Europe. Wegolo must now surrender profits made from their unlicensed and unlawful activity to Ryanair and pay Ryanair damages and costs. Wegolo is banned from extracting information from Ryanair’s website for the purpose of selling Ryanair’s flights.
This Dutch court decision is yet another victory for Ryanair after recent wins in Germany, Ireland and the UK.
Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said:
“Today’s victory in the Dutch courts is another milestone in Ryanair’s fight against internet screenscrapers and resellers. Websites such as Wegolo have for too long been getting away with unauthorised reselling of Ryanair’s flights with the addition of extra charges, which consumers don’t pay when they book directly with Ryanair.
Ryanair is pleased that the Dutch courts have recognised that this conduct is unlawful. This decision, along with recent decisions in Germany, Ireland and the UK shows that European Courts support Ryanair’s pro-consumer fight against the unauthorised use of Ryanair's website. It will be used as a precedent in ongoing litigation against screenscrapers.
Genuine price comparison only websites, who wish to present Ryanair’s low fares information to consumers as opposed to reselling Ryanair flights with additional fees and charges, can enter into a licence agreement with Ryanair to provide price comparison only information. If Wegolo is genuinely interested in providing an honest price comparison service, it is welcome to sign up to this licence which is subject to a charitable donation of €100.”

Ryanair to Close Belfast City Base (1 Aircraft) PROMISED RUNWAY EXTENSION DEFERRED… AGAIN
Ryanair, Europe’s favourite airline, today (31st Aug) announced that it would close its Belfast City Airport base at the end of the current summer schedule on Sun 31 October 2010, following the airports confirmation that the public inquiry into the promised runway extension will be further delayed, thereby delaying yet again the launch of Ryanair low fare flights from Belfast City Airport to destinations all over Europe.
Ryanair regrets that despite repeated promises, the runway extension at Belfast City, which was originally scheduled to be delivered in 2008, still has not been approved by the Northern Ireland Government, and would now be the subject of a delayed public inquiry, which means the runway extension will not be delivered until 2012 at the earliest, some 4 years after it was originally promised.
Ryanair, which launched a base in Belfast City in Oct 2007, operates five routes to the UK because of the short runway at Belfast City. Ryanair had planned to open up a wide range of low fare European routes from/to Belfast City once the promised runway extension was delivered, but this has sadly failed to materialise. Today’s closure of Ryanair’s Belfast City base means that Belfast and Northern Ireland tourism will lose up to 1 million passengers annually.
From early in November, Ryanair will switch its one Belfast City based aircraft to another European airport, with the loss of 50 Ryanair jobs (all staff will be offered relocation elsewhere in the UK or Europe) and the loss of 1 million passengers annually, which will result in the loss of up to 1,000 support jobs in and around Belfast City Airport. Sadly passengers to/from all Belfast airports will now pay much higher fares to travel to/from the UK with other airlines.
Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
“It is very disappointing that the promised runway extension at Belfast City Airport has still not materialised more than 3 years after we opened the base at Belfast City. It makes no sense for Ryanair to continue to invest in Belfast City, operating restricted routes with less than full payloads between Belfast and other UK airports (which suffer a double APD penalty) unless there is clear and immediate prospect of Ryanair being enabled to safely operate longer European routes from Belfast City Airport and for this we need the runway extension.
While we recognise the right of the Government and people of Northern Ireland to subject this small runway extension to an extended planning process, these repeated delays, the reference to a public inquiry and now the further delay to the public inquiry for spurious noise reasons, shows a lack of willingness on the part of the local authorities to grow and develop traffic, routes, tourism and jobs in Northern Ireland.
In these circumstances sadly we have better alternative airports elsewhere in the UK and Europe, all of whom are willing and able to provide us with the runway infrastructure and low cost facilities we need in order to operate our lowest fare flights immediately, safely and profitably.
We will of course continue to work with Brian Ambrose and his team at Belfast City Airport, and wish them continued success in securing the runway extension, but we are not prepared to continue to operate at Belfast City with restricted routes and loads because of repeated planning delays. I would like to personally thank Brian Ambrose and his team for their help and support in developing a successful route network there in recent years, which has seen Ryanair deliver more than 3m passengers over the past 3 years at Belfast City, whilst sustaining up to 50 direct and over 1,000 indirect jobs at the airport and local support services.”

Ryanair to Close Belfast City Base (1 Aircraft) PROMISED RUNWAY EXTENSION DEFERRED… AGAIN
Ryanair, Europe’s favourite airline, today (31st Aug) announced that it would close its Belfast City Airport base at the end of the current summer schedule on Sun 31 October 2010, following the airports confirmation that the public inquiry into the promised runway extension will be further delayed, thereby delaying yet again the launch of Ryanair low fare flights from Belfast City Airport to destinations all over Europe.
Ryanair regrets that despite repeated promises, the runway extension at Belfast City, which was originally scheduled to be delivered in 2008, still has not been approved by the Northern Ireland Government, and would now be the subject of a delayed public inquiry, which means the runway extension will not be delivered until 2012 at the earliest, some 4 years after it was originally promised.
Ryanair, which launched a base in Belfast City in Oct 2007, operates five routes to the UK because of the short runway at Belfast City. Ryanair had planned to open up a wide range of low fare European routes from/to Belfast City once the promised runway extension was delivered, but this has sadly failed to materialise. Today’s closure of Ryanair’s Belfast City base means that Belfast and Northern Ireland tourism will lose up to 1 million passengers annually.
From early in November, Ryanair will switch its one Belfast City based aircraft to another European airport, with the loss of 50 Ryanair jobs (all staff will be offered relocation elsewhere in the UK or Europe) and the loss of 1 million passengers annually, which will result in the loss of up to 1,000 support jobs in and around Belfast City Airport.

Re: Ryanair - General Press Releases
Ryanair schließt die Base in Marseille zum 11.Januar 2011. Die neue Strecke nach Weeze wird ebenso wie 9 andere Strecken bestehen bleiben, da diese Ziele nicht mit in Marseille stationierten Flugzeugen bedient werden. Hintergrund sind arbeitsrechtliche Bestimmungen in Frankreich, nachdem Steuern und Sozialabgaben in Frankreich zu zahlen sind und nicht wie es von Ryanair praktiziert wird in Irland. Dagegen klagt Ryanair vor dem Europäischen Gerichtshof.

Ryanair Announces Closure of Marseille Base
4 AIRCRAFT, 13 ROUTES, 200 JOBS LOST AT MARSEILLE,
AS AIRCRAFT AND JOBS SWITCH TO SPAIN AND ITALY
Ryanair, Europe’s favourite airline, today (13th Oct) announced that it will close its only French base at Marseille Airport from Tuesday 11th Jan 2011, following the commencement of legal proceedings against Ryanair’s Marseille base, where all of its 200 pilots and cabin crew work on Irish aircraft (i.e. Irish territory) and pay their taxes and social insurance contributions in Ireland where they receive their Irish pay. The four Marseille based aircraft (and 200 Ryanair jobs) will now be moved in January to competitor airports in Spain, Italy and Lithuania, with the result that 13 Marseille routes will be closed from 11th January. Ryanair will continue to operate 10 routes to/from Marseille Airport, on aircraft and crews that are based elsewhere.
Ryanair’s base at Marseille and its Flight Crews fully comply with the European Directive on Transport Workers which allows all mobile transport workers to pay income tax and social insurance in the country they work (which in this case is Ireland because they work on Irish registered aircraft which is defined as Irish territory) or where their employer is resident and where they are physically paid, which also in Ryanair’s case is Ireland. The French authorities wish to take a different view and claim that these mobile (Irish) workers should pay income tax and social insurance in France, rather than in Ireland, even though this is contrary to EU regulations.
The closure of Ryanair’s Marseille base and the loss of these aircraft and jobs demonstrates why the European regulations on mobile workers should be respected by France and why this attempt by the French authorities to force these mobile workers to pay taxes in France, when they are employed on Irish territory and paid in Ireland, are doomed to failure. Ryanair has taken a case in the European Courts against this French decree which clearly runs counter to EU rules on international transport workers.
Speaking today in Marseille, Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
“We are very disappointed at this decision by the French authorities to initiate proceedings against Ryanair’s base in Marseille, which complies fully with EU regulations for mobile transport workers. These are not French jobs, but rather Irish jobs on Irish aircraft, which are defined by EU regulations as Irish territory. All of these people pay their tax and social insurance, in accordance with EU regulations, in Ireland and they remain fully tax compliant.
“Sadly the loss of these 4 aircraft, 200 jobs and 13 routes at Marseille is the high price necessary to demonstrate that these are mobile Irish workers, which is why they are covered by the EU regulations for mobile transport workers; and not by a local French decree which Ryanair is currently appealing to the European Courts . This ill-judged legal action has therefore cost Marseille and France jobs, foreign investment and lost visitors in circumstances where our Marseille base fully complies with EU regulations for transport workers.
“Ryanair remains committed to Marseille Airport and in particular to its low cost MP2 Terminal. Ryanair will now be working with the management of Marseille Airport to try to grow other routes and traffic, on aircraft which are based overseas, particularly as Ryanair opens up bases elsewhere in Europe. Sadly the loser in all of this will be Marseille Airport, tourism and jobs in the Provence region.”
