    Ryanair UK is a British low-cost airline. The airline is the UK subsidiary of the low-cost Irish airline group Ryanair Holdings and a sister airline to Ryanair, Buzz, and Malta Air. It commenced operations in March 2019.[2] It operates only Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

    History

    [edit]

    Ryanair UK was founded on 30 May 1985 as Dawndell Limited and was renamed Ryan Air UK Limited on 27 June 1985. Since 1 November 1995, the company has been called Ryanair UK Limited.[3]

    In a statement dated 2 January 2018, Ryanair announced that its subsidiary Ryanair UK filed an application with the Civil Aviation Authority for an air operator's certificate on 21 December 2017, in anticipation of a potential "hard Brexit".[4] Its first Boeing 737-800, registered as G-RUKA, was transferred to Ryanair UK in December 2018.[5] The airline received an air operator's certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority on 3 January 2019[6] and commenced operations on behalf of Ryanair on 12 March 2019.[7] Ryanair UK received its second 737-800 ex Buzz SP-RKA now registered as G-RUKB, registering it on 10 March 2021. By October 2022, the airline had eight aircraft based at Stansted and Manchester.[8] Two more aircraft were transferred in October 2021. As of 2024, the company had 15 aircraft.[9]

    In December 2020, the company claimed that new CAA rules had led to Ryanair cancelling 12 routes. The CAA responded that they had not changed their policy.[10][11][12]
