The Hidden Side of Low-Cost Airlines: Investigating Ryanair’s “System”
I don’t always link to or embed videos on this blog but when I do it’s because they’re good. This one is no exception. Franco-Italian journalist Enrico Porsia led an in-depth inquiry into the different mechanisms at work in Ryanair’s success. The result is very instructive.
Of course, for most people familiar with low-cost airlines and Ryanair’s business model (and I’m guessing most readers of this blog are) a lot of things here shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise. However, I believe the merit of Mr Porsia’s documentary lie with his capacity to gather many different voices to talk about the company: Crew members, activists, union leaders, industry specialists, airport managers, regional authorities, Ryanair marketing manager, journalists and even a professor of Economy at Trinity College.
For now the documentary is only available in French, which is too bad. I’m hoping for a subtitled version soon but no dates have been made public yet. Among the subjects discussed are a few of the nasty hot topics surrounding Ryanair: Airport subsidies, cabin crew working conditions, for-profit terminations and borderline safety practices…

Spectacular video that shows how Ryanair does not respect the LAW, receiving Subventions in Fiscal Paradises and extorionating the Regional Airports. The poor Ryanair workers does not have right to use the National Health System from their countries because they all are workers in Ireland, so they have to go to Ireland to see a Doctor. The poor Ryanair workers does not have right to have subsidy in case of unemployment because it is the Government of Ireland that should give them this subsidy. The poor Ryanair workers does not have right to pension from their countries because they are Irish workers working abroad in their own countries.
