Ryanair was founded in 1985. In 1991, Michael O'Leary was tasked with increasing its profitability. He quickly implemented faster aircraft turn-around, a "no frills" approach to economy class and no business class. In 2000 the airline launched its online booking system. Passenger numbers rose and have grown by up to 25% a year since then. Ryanair carried fewer than 700,000 passengers annually in the 1980s but had 72 million customers in 2010. It also flies to over 150 destinations. Twenty percent of its revenue comes from optional extras - i.e. from sources other than air tickets. A leading consumer magazine said the airline was the "worst offender" for charging for optional extras. Ryanair argues this allows passengers who do not require these services to travel for the lowest possible price, thus giving customers the flexibility to choose what they pay for.
瑞安航空公司成立于1985年。1991年，邁克爾·奧利里奉命提高利潤率。他迅速加快了機場的周轉時間，對經濟艙不增加額外費用，并不設立商務艙。2000年，該航空公司啟動了自己的網上預訂系統。自此以后，乘客的數量有所增加，一年的增長幅度達到了25%。20世紀80年代，瑞安每年的載客數量要少于70萬人次，而2010年的載客量為7200萬。飛行目的地超過了150個。20%的營業額來自于可選擇性費用，例如除了機票以外的其他服務。一本主要消費者雜志稱瑞安航空公司是收取選擇性費用中最“狠”的。瑞安認為這將允許沒有要求這些服務的乘客以最低廉的價格乘坐飛機，所以我們讓顧客來選擇要花費的項目。
