Ryanair Ltd. is a low-cost Irish airline founded in 1984, based in Swords, Dublin, Ireland, with its main operational bases at Dublin and Stansted airports. In 2016, Ryanair was the largest European airline by scheduled scheduled passengers, and transported more international passengers than any other airline.
Ryanair operates 403 Boeing 737-800 aircraft with a single 737-700 used mainly as a charter plane, but also as a stand-by plane and for pilot training. The airline has been characterized by its rapid expansion, resulting from the deregulation of the aviation industry in Europe in 1997 and the success of its low-cost business model. The Ryanair route network serves 34 countries in Europe, Africa (Morocco) and the Middle East (Israel).
Since its inception in 1984 Ryanair has grown from a small airline that travels a short distance from Waterford to London in Europe's largest airline. Ryanair now has more than 11,000 people working for the company, most of whom are employed and hired by multiple Ryanair aircraft or, as in the case of pilots, the vast majority are agencies or freelancers and their services are hired from Ryanair. After the fast-growing airline became public in 1997, the money raised was used to expand the airline to a pan-European company. Revenues increased from € 231 million in 1998 to € 1,843 million in 2003 and € 3,013 million in 2010. Net income also increased from € 48 million to € 339 million in the same period.
