Ryanair Boeing 737-300

Back in January 2003 Irish budget carrier acquired London Stansted based Buzz from KLM’s following a strategic review of  business in light of the increasing competition in the European low cost arena.

The acquisition of Buzz enabled Ryanair to further expand at Stansted, London’s third main airport. Michael O’Leary said the acquisition was ‘A Timely Strategic move”.
