Ryanair Holding plc is an Irish low-cost airline holding. It consists of Ryanair DAC, Ryanair UK, Buzz and Malta Air. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, it is the largest European airline provider by the numbers of passengers. Investors can trade it under the ticker $RYA at London Stock Exchange, $RY4C at Euronext and also under $RYAAY at NASDAQ.
Ryanair DAC as the main part of the holding family is known for controversies, but the success of the airline, without any doubt, remains in its contemporary price policy model. Indeed, similarly to the company CEO O’Leary, rising numbers of customers see the main function of an airline today to bring passengers from A to B both safe and on-time, the same way as a taxi does. Recently, Ryanair has attracted a strong attention by promoting summer vacation flights. These can be booked now since, according to Ryanair, the Europeans should be already vaccinated by then. Will the anticipation of the 2021 traffic promote the stock price to the new highs?
