  > "It would be very easy to blow them out of the market by offering cheaper flights than them with better customer service." Conceptually sure, but in reality not at all. Airlines are extremely capital intensive. Everything aspect of their operation means truckloads of cash. Airplanes cost a lot of money. Trained maintenance crews cost a lot of money. Hangars cost a lot of money. Parking at a major airport costs a lot of money. Forget flight attendants and amenities, just getting a barebones aircraft off the ground costs tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars. So there's a big caveat here: nobody enjoys flying Ryanair, it would be easy to blow them out of the market if you had a source for a few hundred million dollars of funding to get started.
