17 Analysis of operating revenues and segmental analysis
All revenues derive from the Group’s principal activity and business segment as a low fares airline and
include scheduled services, car hire, internet income and related sales to third parties.
Revenue is analysed by geographical area (by country of origin) as follows:
Year ended

2007
1000 1000
United Kingdom ................................................................................................

Other European countries ................................................................
......................
1,692,817 1,252,885
2,713,822 2,236,895
Ancillary revenues included in total revenue above comprise:

Internet income ................................................................................................
......
54,970 37,063
488,130 362,104
All of the Group’s operating profit arises from low fares airline-related activities, its only business
segment. The major revenue earning assets of the Group are comprised of its aircraft fleet, which is
registered in Ireland and therefore principally all profits accrue in Ireland. Since the Group’s aircraft fleet is
flexibly employed across its route network in Europe, there is no suitable basis of allocating such assets and
related liabilities to geographical segments. Internet income comprises revenue generated from
Ryanair.com, excluding internet car hire revenue, which is included under the heading car hire. Non-flight
scheduled revenue arises from the sale of rail and bus tickets, hotel reservations and other revenues
generated, including excess baggage charges, all directly attributable to the low fares business.
