With its redesign and the addition of more short-haul routes and its presence at more UK airports, Ryanair is fast becoming the go-to airline. With its affordable flights, and on time record, the airline is popular amongst travelers that don’t mind the minimalist amenities.
With Ryanair poised to have their new, redesigned Boeing 737-800 aircraft in action this month, they are likely to increase their popularity much more as they are working on their image to increase customer satisfaction. The new aircraft have slimmer seats that will create more legroom, larger windows, led lights and higher lockers providing more headroom.
Ryanair will be unveiling new uniforms for staff and will tone down the bright yellow of the cabin interiors to the delight of many of their customers. The new interiors have been revealed on social media and they are navy with yellow accents. They are sure the increased legroom and headspace will make for a more comfortable flight as well as changing their on time trumpet heavy tune to a more subdued jingle.
The Irish airline has recently acquired 5 slots that IAG (International Airline Group) had to surrender at Gatwick Airport, and they have added six new routes to Belfast from Stansted and they’ve increased flight frequency from Liverpool to Malaga.
With all of these changes and a definite increase of 66% more profit this year than last year, Ryanair is far outstripping the competition while keeping their prices low. With the major overhaul of the brand and getting customer feedback, and implementing some of the changes customers have asked for; they are poised to become the UK’s number one short haul flight airline.
