How do low cost airlines, example being Ryanair, make such high profits yet sell flights for so cheap?

1.28K viewsEconomicsOther

I fly around Europe for €30-€100 per return flight without a checked bag. Yet Ryanair are one of the most profitable airlines in the world yet charging such cheap prices. Are other airlines just not as efficient as low cost airlines?

Simplify the air fleet as much as possible so training costs are kept lower and maintenance is logistically simpler too.

Fly as much as possible, an aircraft that’s not flying still costs money.

Do routes that are proven to bring in the most amount of passengers and revenue.

Do routes where airports are cheaper to rent slots to operate and keep ground time to a minimum.

Cut back on ground crew and equipment wherever possible.
