ALT!!!

Il dato merita dei chiarimenti.

Ecco alcune parti del commento ai dati da parte di O'Leary, padre padrone di Ryanair:



“I want to re-emphasise what was predicted in my interim statement of 4 Nov’02 which was that rapid traffic growth was planned in Q3 and Q4 as a direct consequence of “significantly lower” air fares and yields.

“This strong traffic growth in December (which will continue into January) was a deliberate by-product of a number of lower fare initiatives including;

• the 870,000 free seat give-away in Q3 which has reduced yields
as expected,
• the successful launch of four new routes from our Frankfurt
Hahn base in early December which improves the traffic
growth, but at lower introductory fares,
• continuing strong growth across the existing network as a result of Ryanair’s policy of driving down air fares, in order to widen the price gap between us and all of our competitors in every market.

“Our business continues to grow as forecast, therefore this traffic growth in December does not give rise to any change - positive or negative - in our previous guidance.”


Quindi il dato significativo di per sè è l'aumento del load factor dal 77 al 85%. L'aumento dei passeggeri è dovuto ai nuovi aerei inseriti in flotta nel corso del 2002.
Parte dei passeggeri di Dicembre (ben 870.000) viaggiano gratis.
Lo yields è pure calato, senza scordare che era già il più basso del mercato.

No, Ryanair non pratica mai overbooking.

Altre low-cost tipo Easyjet la praticano solo su alcune rotte (tipo certi collegamenti nazionali Inglesi e tra UK e Parigi/Amsterdam dove dato l'alto numero di passeggeri in viaggio d'affari, il numero di no-show è molto alto), ma mai sull'ultimo volo del giorno.
