About Ryanair UK
Here is comprehensive information about Ryanair UK (ICAO: RUK) airline:
Ryanair UK is a low-cost airline and a UK subsidiary of the broader Ryanair Holdings plc, an Irish ultra low-cost airline group. It was established in December 2017 in anticipation of Brexit and commenced operations in March 2019. The airline was founded to serve routes from the United Kingdom that an EU-based operator might not be able to operate post-Brexit, such as flights between London and Morocco.
The airline's main operational bases are located in the UK, including Belfast International Airport, Edinburgh Airport, London Stansted Airport, and Manchester Airport. While part of the larger Ryanair group, which has primary operational bases like Dublin and Milan Bergamo, Ryanair UK specifically focuses on its UK bases. Ryanair UK operates a dedicated fleet of 15 Boeing 737-800 jets, distinct from the larger group's fleet which also includes Boeing 737 MAX 200s and Airbus A320-200s operated by Lauda Europe.
Ryanair UK's route network focuses on domestic flights within the UK and international flights connecting the UK with destinations across Europe and North Africa, including Morocco. It serves 93 destinations across 29 countries via 148 routes. Other data suggests 82 airports and 311 routes, or 2 domestic and 83 international destinations across 27 countries. Ryanair UK does not hold membership in any major airline alliances such as Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld, but the broader Ryanair group has some codeshare agreements. As a low-cost carrier, Ryanair UK primarily offers an Economy Class product. Passengers can opt for "Business Plus" or "Flexi Plus" fares, which provide benefits like flexible tickets, priority boarding, free airport check-in, and additional baggage allowances. "Extra Legroom Seats" are also available for an extra charge.
