Ryanair Holdings PLC is an Irish ultra low-cost carrier group headquartered in Swords, Dublin, Ireland.[13] The company includes the subsidiaries Ryanair DACTooltip Designated activity company,[14] Malta Air, Buzz, Lauda Europe and Ryanair UK. Ryanair DAC, the oldest airline of the group, was founded in 1984.[12] Ryanair Holdings was established in 1996 as a holding company for Ryanair with the two companies having the same board of directors and executive officers.[15] In 2019 the transition began from the airline Ryanair and its subsidiaries into separate sister airlines under the holding company.[16] Later in 2019 Malta Air joined Ryanair Holdings.[17]

Ryanair has been characterised by its rapid expansion, a result of the deregulation of the aviation industry in Europe in 1997 and the success of its low-cost business model. The group operates more than 500 planes.[18] Its route network serves over 40 countries in Europe, North Africa (Morocco), and the Middle East (Israel and Jordan).[19] The primary operational bases are at Dublin, London Stansted and Milan Bergamo airports.[20] Ryanair is Ireland's biggest airline[21] and in 2016 became the world's largest airline by scheduled international passengers.[22]

The company has at times been criticised for its refusal to issue invoices for the VAT-exempt services it provides (airfares),[23] poor working conditions,[24][25][26] heavy use of extra charges,[27][28][29] poor customer service,[30][31] and tendency to intentionally generate controversy in order to gain publicity.[32][33][34]
