Ryanair boss O’Leary with satirical bill in the restaurant surprised!

Michael O’Leary, the CEO of Ryanair, was recently humorous in an Irish Restaurant. In the Luvida restaurant in Navan, Ireland, he received a "satirical calculation" that had additional fees for legroom and table choice. The amount amounted to a total of 37.85 euros, including creative extra costs such as 7.95 euros for more legroom, 9.95 euros for a preferred seat and 19.95 euros for a reservation in a quiet area. O’Leary took the joke with humor and posed for a posting with the invoice, although fortunately it was not asked to checkout.

The restaurant publicly thanked O’Leary for his visit and praised him for leaving a generous tip. This campaign was part of a humorous staging that should draw the public attention to Ryanair's often criticized fee structures. Vol.at reports about the reactions on this and the philosophy behind the Fee surveys.

Ryanair’s fee model

The exorbitant additional fees that Ryanair raises are not new. The company has made a name for itself with its business model, which focuses on strict cost efficiency and maximizing the number of passengers. Extra fees for things such as choice of seats, priority boarding and luggage are common practice, and O’Leary is known for his offensive way of defending his business model. He even said that he was ready to chargate to use toilets and introduce standing places if this were approved by the regulatory authorities.

These fees are part of a long -term strategy that made it possible to remain competitive. According to airliners.de For over 20 years, the focus has been almost unchanged and focuses on cost control and high aircraft recovery. This happens with the aim of keeping ticket prices low and at the same time securing profitability. Customer satisfaction plays a subordinate role, especially on short -haul flights.

In order to remain successful in an increasingly saturated market, Ryanair sees himself as a "priceer", which means that pricing is strongly influenced by the competition. Dara Brady, Chief Marketing Officer from Ryanair, emphasizes the influence of the company on the capacities offered, while at the same time the need to continue to offer the most favorable tariffs.

brand image and customer loyalty

The funny interaction between O’Leary and the restaurant reflects the often ironic relationship that Ryanair maintains with its customers. Ryanair's social media channels are known for their playful use of critics, and this humorous staging could also serve to loosen up the airline's brand image. In proudly announced tweets, passengers are also taken on the shovelry who pay for seatless tickets, which shows that Ryanair sometimes chooses a humorous, albeit provocative approach to interact with his customers.

In any case, it should be noted that Ryanair, led by O’Leary, continues to focus on a business model that combines provocative innovations and a cost awareness, while it has to be in competition at the same time. The satirical invoice in the Luvida restaurant meditates across the limits of customer service and airline policy in the modern aviation industry.
