Company History
Ryanair was founded in 1984 by the Ryan family, with a single 15-seat aircraft flying between Waterford and London. It was restructured in the early 1990s under the leadership of Michael O'Leary, who modeled it on Southwest Airlines' low-cost model. The airline has since grown into Europe's largest low-cost carrier, with a fleet of over 300 Boeing 737 aircraft and a network spanning Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
