An interview with Ken O’Toole: route development at Ryanair

Ken O’Toole is the Director of New Route Development at Ryanair. In an interview with John Strickland at last years’ World Low Cost Airlines Congress he answered some pressing questions about Ryanair’s route development strategy and plans for the future.

How will Ryanair overcome its challenges in expanding to new routes? What are the current strategic and tactical areas impacting FR network and how is Ryanair addressing the issues? How will Ryanair’s move to principal airports help increase market share, and how will they keep their cost base low? What do they look for in airport partners and how will they select their future new routes? How likely is future fleet expansion and therefore growth: will there be new aircraft orders? Listen to what he had to say here:

Strickland also interviewed competitor and fellow Irish LCC Aer Lingus at the conference. Watch the interview with CEO Christoph Mueller here.
