Ryanair and easyJet: 2 different strategies

Even if the following is not an easy thing to read, easyJet and Ryanair’s financial results are very significant in showing the differences between both companies’ business models. What is striking when you compare both companies is that while Ryanair looks for passengers, easyJet, on the other hand, looks for better per seat revenue… While easyJet decides to focus on main airports such as Paris CDG, Ryanair pulls planes out of Manchester and opens route elsewhere, like Leeds Bradford Airport… While Ryanair doesn’t seem to care at all about customers, easyJet tries to listen them (@easyJetcare for example)… And the list goes on…

I decided to sum up some of the differences I noticed. Of course, there are many others, so if you think of some and would like to see them added to the list, please leave a comment. Orange is for easyJet, blue and yellow for Ryanair!
