RYANAIR RESIGNS FROM THE UK AVIATION COUNCIL
11 Jul 2023
UK’S LARGEST AIRLINE REFUSES TO WASTE TIME AT A “TALKING SHOP” WHICH DELIVERS NO ACTION OR REFORM FOR UK PASSENGERS
Ryanair, the UK’s No. 1 passenger airline, today (11th July) confirmed it has resigned from the UK Aviation Council, led by Baroness Vere, as this Council has proved over the last 6 months to be a “talking shop” which delivers no benefits, no reform and no change for UK aviation or UK passengers.
The UK Aviation Council held its first meeting in Feb 2023, the 2nd meeting in April was postponed by Baroness Vere at short notice, and the 3rd meeting took place today, 11th July.
In Feb, Ryanair called on Baroness Vere to implement 5 practical measures to improve UK aviation at the 1st Council meeting including;
Improve NATS staffing to reduce ATC delays;
The UK Govt to push for effective air space reform in Europe;
Improve Border Control staffing and processing times;
Called for reduced UK visa cost from £3,000 to £1,000 per person; and
Restore temp IDs at UK airports to improve S23 staffing for airport, handling and PRM providers.
Baroness Vere and the UK Aviation Council has delivered no action whatsoever over the past 6 months on any of these achievable goals. At today’s meeting, Baroness Vere proposed a working group comprised of the DfT and CAA be set up to promote UK airspace “modernisation”. However, instead of delivering effective and efficient modernisation, this body won’t even report until April 2024, and the Dept of Transport has failed to provide any funding to deliver this reform. Ryanair regrettably concludes that this UK Aviation Council is a useless talking shop, which has failed to deliver any action or practical measures to improve UK aviation.
Ryanair’s CEO Michael O’Leary said:
“We joined the UK Aviation Council in Feb when Transport Minister Mark Harper assured us it would be used as a “delivery body” to improve the resilience of UK aviation. Sadly, this has proved to be an empty promise. There has been no action, no delivery, and no improvement in UK aviation, and the Council has become a talking shop for Baroness Vere, Govt bureaucrats and the CAA to waffle on about reform while delivering none.
Ryanair is the UK’s No. 1 passenger airline, and is investing heavily in new bases (Belfast) and new routes to/from the UK. We expect to grow our traffic in the UK in 2023 by 13% to 56m passengers and all of this growth is being delivered without any support or initiative from the UK Govt or its useless Aviation Council. We don’t have time to waste meeting with an ineffective industry Council, which doesn’t/hasn’t deliver any practical change or reform since its 1st meeting last February.
If Baroness Vere wants to deliver change or improve UK aviation, then she should disband this useless Council and work instead with the UK’s major airlines to deliver real and effective change, which will enable us to improve capacity and lower air fares for UK citizens and visitors. Instead, Baroness Vere prefers to waste her time, and ours, holding a quarterly talking shop, at which she promises action, but delivers none. Ryanair has better things to do with our time than waste it on her useless and ineffective Aviation Council, and so we have written today to Baroness Vere to resign from this Council with immediate effect.”

We both look to provide choice where we can, and the expansion of Ryanair at Edinburgh is a real success story and shows the strength of the offer and our relationship. We look forward to working with Ryanair going forward and bringing even more exciting destinations to Scotland’s airport.”

05 Jul 2023
Ryanair, la compagnia aerea n. 1 in Italia, ha festeggiato oggi (5 luglio) i 25 anni di attività in Italia e a Pisa, con 48 milioni di passeggeri transitati dall’aeroporto Galileo Galilei. La storia d’amore di Ryanair con l’Italia, infatti, è iniziata nel giugno del 1998, con il primo volo da Pisa per Londra Stansted.
Da allora, Ryanair è cresciuta notevolmente a Pisa ampliando la propria rete con rotte nazionali e internazionali, guidando il traffico e la ripresa del turismo post-Covid. A oggi conta oltre 3,5 milioni di passeggeri trasportati all’anno e oltre 48 milioni di passeggeri hanno volato da/per Pisa dal 1998.
Quest’estate, Ryanair offre il suo operativo più importante di sempre su Pisa con 54 rotte, incluse 5 nuove destinazioni per Birmingham, Copenaghen, Glasgow Prestwick, Kos e Stoccolma Arlanda. Grazie a questa offerta, in occasione delle “nozze d’argento”, Ryanair prevede una crescita del 14% a Pisa rispetto al livello Pre-covid, con 8 aeromobili basati presso il Galilei (inclusi 3 Gamechanger).
Per celebrare i 25 anni di attività in Italia e a Pisa e i 48 milioni di passeggeri trasportati, i clienti/visitatori possono ora prenotare una meritata vacanza per l’estate ’23 a partire da soli € 25 a tratta per viaggiare fino a ottobre ’23 su www.Ryanair.com.
Da Pisa, il Country Manager di Ryanair per l’Italia, Mauro Bolla, ha dichiarato:
“Come compagnia aerea n. 1 in Italia, Ryanair è entusiasta di celebrare i 25 anni di attività in Italia e a Pisa. Nell’ultimo quarto di secolo, Ryanair è cresciuta fino a trasportare 48 milioni di passeggeri da/per Pisa e ha investito per collegare le regioni italiane con voli nazionali, inclusi quelli per Bari, Catania, Palermo e Trapani, oltre a rotte internazionali, come Dublino, Londra, Eindhoven, Ibiza e molte altre destinazioni popolari.
Il nostro operativo per la Summer ’23 offre 54 rotte, incluse 5 nuove ed entusiasmanti per Birmingham, Copenaghen, Glasgow Prestwick, Kos e Stoccolma Arlanda, offrendo ai clienti/visitatori di Pisa ancora più scelta per le loro vacanze estive alle tariffe più basse in Europa. Da quando siamo atterrati per la prima volta in Italia 25 anni fa, siamo cresciuti fino a diventare la compagnia aerea n. 1 in Italia. Di conseguenza, comprendiamo quanto sia importante connettersi con i propri cari ed è per questo che ci impegniamo a crescere ulteriormente in Italia nei prossimi 25 anni.
A nome di Ryanair, sono quindi lieto di regalare alle Sig.re Francesca Mazzoni e Francesca Coveri, dirette a Trapani con i rispettivi figli che volano per la prima volta, 2 voucher per viaggiare da Pisa verso qualsiasi destinazione del nostro network, augurando loro di rilassarsi e godersi il volo con Ryanair.
Per celebrare i 25 anni e i 48 milioni di passeggeri dell’aeroporto di Pisa, offriamo una promozione a partire da soli € 25 a tratta per viaggiare fino a ottobre ’23, disponibili suwww.Ryanair.com”.
Toscana Aeroporti, ha dichiarato:
“Siamo davvero orgogliosi di poter celebrare i 25 anni di Ryanair in Italia e, in particolare, a Pisa. Dal 1998 a oggi, il settore aereo è cambiato drasticamente e così anche la domanda da parte dei passeggeri. Poter festeggiare questo lungo periodo insieme testimonia la validità della nostra collaborazione che ci ha permesso non solo di superare momenti di grande difficoltà, come la pandemia, ma addirittura di incrementare costantemente le destinazioni.
Come dimostrano anche gli obiettivi per i prossimi anni, insieme a Ryanair siamo impegnati a garantire una connettività aerea sempre più ampia e di qualità, da una parte rendendo il nostro aeroporto una porta d’accesso privilegiata per i viaggiatori verso le destinazioni leisure e turistiche d’Europa, dall’altra promuovendo lo sviluppo turistico ed economico della nostra regione.”
