Established in 1991, Ryanair is European low-cost-airline . Services more than 35 million passengers in this year. It has achieved this level of

London Stansted and Luton, Milan, Brussels-Charleroi, Girona, Frankfurt-Hahn, Stockholm and Rome.

Ryanair Flight 685 from Stockholm's Vasteras airport to London Stansted in September 1, 2002 was delayed by several hours after a Swedish man of Arabic origin was
detained after attempting to board the aircraft with a loaded gun. Subsequent media reports suggested that the man was going to hijack the aircraft and fly it into the United
States Embassy in London, however, no confirmation of these allegations was found in the following police investigation and trial.
Operates 301 routes between 114 airports in 22 European countries. Its main hub is London Stansted Airport, with 88 routes. Ryanair has other bases throughout Europe, at Charleroi Brussels South, Cork, Dublin, Frankfurt-Hahn, Girona, London Luton, Liverpool, Milan Orio al Serio, Pisa, Nottingham East Midlands, Glasgow Prestwick, Rome Ciampino, Shannon and Stockholm Skavsta.
Most smaller airports Ryanair operates to are located farther from the city centres than their main airports, with Frankfurt-Hahn perhaps the most notorious example, 110km west of Frankfurt. There are however exceptions: Gothenburg City Airport is 11 km closer to Gothenburg than the main Landvetter Airport, and Ciampino Airport is 17km closer to Rome than the main Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport, although the latter is better connected.
Of all Ryanair's routes, the Dublin-London route remains both the busiest and the most profitable. This is largely due to the number of Irish people who live in the UK - the amount of business and money traded between the two cities - and increasingly the number of Irish who use the route to make connecting flights to other places in Europe. The London-Dublin route is the busiest international route in the world after Hong Kong-Taipei.
