Surely it's not Ryanair's fault if others are not willing to compete for certain destinations.
- seszett 8y agoMaybe, but you cannot say that the market is "extremely competitive" and "others are not willing to compete" at the same time.
- lorenzobr 8y agoI'm not the one who said the market is "extremely competitive". For sure is a market with high barriers to entry, very expensive to be in and profit margins are not that high either. So if you are Ryanair you aim at doing more destinations and paid "extras", if you are Alitalia you aim at doing fewer destinations on a much bigger price mark.
- arkades 8y ago> it’s a very competitive market > it’s not their fault there’s no competition Perhaps you could rephrase your rebuttal? It doesn’t quite make sense as I am interpreting it.
- gaius 8y agoThere have been various dodgy dealings around subsidies, it’s by no means as clear-cut as that. This freezes rivals out.
- lorenzobr 8y agododgy dealings = lobbying. Everyone does it in every industry unfortunately for us consumers.
