GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Liberalization of the EU Air Transportation Market
Ryanair began its flight operations in 1985, during a decade in which the governments of Ireland and
the U.K. liberalized the bilateral arrangements for the operation of air services between the two countries. In
1992, the Council of Ministers of the EU adopted a package of measures intended to liberalize the internal
market for air transportation in the EU. The liberalization included measures that allow EU air carriers
substantial freedom to set air fares, provided EU air carriers greatly enhanced access to routes within the EU,
and also introduced a licensing procedure for EU air carriers. Beginning in April 1997, EU air carriers have
generally been able to provide passenger services on domestic routes within any EU member state outside their
home country of operations without restriction. See also Industry Overview European Airline Market.‖
Regulatory Authorities
Ryanair is subject to Irish and EU regulation, which is implemented primarily by the Department of
Transport, the IAA, the European Commission, and the EASA. Management believes that the present regulatory
environment in Ireland and the EU is characterized by high sensitivity to safety and security issues, which is
demonstrated by intensive reviews of safety-related procedures, training, and equipment by the national and EU
regulatory authorities.
Commission for Aviation Regulation. The CAR is currently primarily responsible for deciding
maximum airport charges only at Dublin Airport. See ― Airport Operations Airport Charges‖ above.
