In this video, you will find the latest top 10 with the largest airlines in the world by fleet size. Having the biggest airline fleet in the world definitely tells a lot about the respective airline. Not only it means that the airline has a huge historical background, but it also means that it has overcome many of the huge obstacles the airline industry went through since airplanes started to fly.
This video aims to show the public and all the aviation enthusiasts the strongest and largest airlines in the world by exposing their current fleet. You will hear about Ryanair and Southwest Airlines, about United Airlines, Delta Airlines, and American Airlines as well as of China Eastern and China Southern Airlines and Air China. You donât think I will give you the correct order of them all right đ? To find out, you will need to watch the video! Go ahead and let me know what you think!

Southwest
Southwest. Ryanair has good prices but bad landings lol
I rarely see complaints or bad reviews about Southwest...they gotta be really goood in this case đđŒ
@@Top10Aviation also the legend was true cuz I subbed
Appreciate that, thank you!
Iâm a SkyWest pilot. Proud to be here!
Nice! Hopefully everything is fine for you with this s*** situation...đđŒ
I like that airline was good from panama to atlanta to detroit michigan
Hi captain
I am about to enrol into a flight school. Is it normal to be nervous? And have doubts about your training??
Willis Rich, my husband was a Navy pilot A-7, and F-18. Test pilot Patuxent River,MD, and Pensacola, FL where he got his wings.
The strategy used by Southwest and Ryan Air is very good. IndiGo airlines here in India also uses the same strategy:low cost model, using the same aircraft types which reduces training and maintenance costs and placing huge orders which helps you get discounts as well as enable you to continue cycle of getting new deliveries and at the same time replace the older aircrafts, keeping the fleet young. IndiGo follows the same model and they're the most successful airline in India with over a 50% marketshare in domestic sector and also good international expansion in Asia and Europe.
Straight to the point, you're totally right. This operating model is the most business friendly so far, and it will remain for a while in my opinion đđŒ
Not Only Indigo but also Spice Jet and Go Air
Jai Hind đźđł
@@RajahHindustani Gay Hind! No Endian airline in the list. haha!
@@PK_Diaspora indigo more than 300+ aircraft alone and 500 more in order...meanwhile bhikaristan does not even have more than 100+ aircraft alone..hahaha
You're a good youtuber. You actively respond to comments, ask people things, even on an old video. I respect that. Best of luck to you, hope your channel gets big.
I fly delta A321 all the time and I am proud to see it there at number 2!
Aussie here, who has flown American Airlines. Was my first B777 experience. Let me say, at 39000 feet in a 777... my drink barely rippled, and the engines were a distant rumble. Beautiful trans-Atlantic flight.
i am pleased to hear you enjyed your flight
Every airplane will be stable at that height.
From Jamaica, I enjoy this compilation of the Top 10 airlines, although I had known the top 4. I have flown the Top 2 but my flight ride is definitively Delta. I would love to be on their A359 aircraft. Informatively great video.
Great aviation video! Very informative! Just smashed the subscribed buttonđđŒđđ»
Very well researched and presented...!!! Thanks for sharing..!!
Interesting that the only European operator in the top ten, is Ryanair....
What's so bad about that
@@GoodAtGrindlng Is it bad?
USA is a big country. I guess the guy who lives in Florida doesn't want to drive 6 days to his uncle's in California. taking the plane is more a holidays thing here in europe
@@mr_exia Trains work in Europe. A one hour flight and three hour high speed train trip almost cancel each other out with the additional security for flights and check-in times at airports. Apparently, like here in Oz, trains are barely an option even compared to short haul flights in the US.
I agree, Lufthansa has 752 aircraft.
Crazy to think American Airlines fleet is the biggest even without their regional carriers! I work for AA and didnât realize it was that big lol
They've held this record for some time. Even when I took a trip on their 777 for the first time, they were ranked the largest fleet in the world.
And that was over 13 years ago. Let that sink in...
Too bad theyâre in Debt.
The reason the fleet is so big is because it's absorbed a lot of of other airlines and their fleets. America West, U.S. Airways, TWA, Reno Air, AirCal and a few others all now make up American Airlines. It's the same for Delta and United.
@@KairiPrime exactly and UA absorbed Pan Am, etc...
Every major airline in the USA will soon be in debt with fleet modernization. AA modernized their fleet before everyone hence why they are in debt. I'm sure they will get out of it.
It was the first with delta airlines your videos are really amazing and interesting keep going thank you
From WC, Delta is #1 for me I donât fly often, but when I do I can be sure that they will get me there on time and I have been treated very good!
I love flying with Ryanair and canât wait to get back in the skies with them
How are you alive?
@Joshua McEntee it's not that bad tbh just the landings everything goes tits over arse
I remember the hard landingsđ
@@princeplayz4148 because the lane didn't break with impact
They haven't had a fatal accident yet, considering their number 8 in the world, thats immensely impressive. People always moan about their landings, but boeings philosophy behind the 737 is a "firm touchdown" to avoid hydroplaning. Most airlines in Europe operate the a320 over the 737 and that thing has far more automatics than the Boeing, making it far easier to land. You don't pay much to fly for Ryanair but your as safe if not safer than any other airline in the sky.
Worked for American Airlines for 6 years and fueled United and Southwest planes as a Airplane Fueler for 5 years
Very nice! What was your position at AA? Are you still working in aviation?
Airplane fuelers are SO terribly underpaid here in Vancouver, its a shame.
@@basvanderhoek9293 I worked my way up to Supervisor before the outsourced the job. Started at $13 hourly finished at $ 24 hourly.
Very nice video. I have travelled with United Airlines and is the best. Thanks for the informative video. Keep it up.
Thanks for this information đ
Flown with Southwest, United, AA and Delta, I am really impressed with AAâs service. Greetings from Mexico đČđœ!.
Sky west is by far the best airline in its segment. Great job, guys and gals!
đđŒ
American airlines is the best in world
Iâve actually flown in the top 3, amazing to know that they have that many planes in their airline company
Facinating!
I've taken south west, America,but I always take Delta airlines because I live in Atlanta and I just love Delta airlines
Number 4 is my favorite airline ! They're the best! đđâ€ïž
I do agree with you! đđ»

Great Job đ
Thanks for your interesting informations.
United has a special place for me SJO-EWR & SJO-IAH, greetings from Costa Rica
I feel sorry for Ryanâs air landing gear
Fortunately I flew almost all those airlines already except Ryanair. Thank you for the video it was very informative.
Thank you for watching!
Excellent sir
My god this guy's channel deserves a load of subs.
I subbed.
Thank you man! đđŒ
Yeah
I am Retired as I enjoyed traveling all over the world I still like to fly on Southwest Airlines they are number one on time Airlines and I keep flying on Southwest Airlines Thanks Southwest Airlines for your help and keep up the good work Michael Principe in Phoenix Arizona 25, Mar 2031
With Southwest, you know exactly what you're going to get. No surprises, no frills and on time.
Whoa, this guy is an actual time traveler from the future... 10 years from present day!!!
Southwest is not always on time. According to FAA statistics, Southwest is only fifth best in on time performance. Delta's on time performance is second only to Hawiian Airlines: FAA ON TIME STATISTICS BY AIRLINE
Hawaiian Airlines: (87.4%)

I did an American Airlines 767 some years back. A fine aircraft and very good airline.
UNITED ..Lon UK -LA CAL .
I liked it so much .. quite long time ago . Clean .. good space . V. Good service . Glad to see it 1 of the best .

Delta for sure Bro! :)

Very informative. Flown almost all the mentioned airlines except FedEx of course.
Great video, with a good sense of humor, is the best part, I would like to know how many Boeings and How many Airbus every company, Thank you for the video
The best 2 airlines that I have travelled on (with regard to service) were All Nippon Airways (International service) and KLM. The worst for service has to be American (they may be the biggest, but they appear to be always late) and British Airways (A few year ago on a flight to London Heathrow from Los Angeles, I had fallen asleep and did not realize my knee was sticking out in the Isle - my bad, I know; a Flight attendant accidentally crashed her service cart in to my knee. She did not apologize, she just ignored my scream in pain). I wonât be flying with British Airways anymore. The scariest flight/airline that Iâve ever been on was an internal air Malawi flight between cities of Lilongwe, and Blantyre, Malawi. Vintage 1950s Hawker Siddeley; The seats were old chrome legged kitchen chairs that had for seatbelts, panels were loose from the ceiling and sides and the technicians on the ground looked like folks that never even worked before, (had uniforms were torn jeans and teeshirts). The flight attendant stunk as well.
Thanks a lot for the detailed info about your experience! If only everyone could give such a detailed review hahah!
So looks like you didn't enjoy much your journeys with the American carriers, xhat about delta and United though?
Never tried ANA but I always hear good about it!
American airlines is the worse airline ever.
Delta is good, united is meh
Oh no air Malawi đ
Many of these Airlines have large fleets today, agreed. However, you could actually combine several of these carriers together - and you still would not match the global reach and far-flung destinations that Pan Am had during its operational peak... with just 226 aircraft in its fleet. Size, sometimes - does not matter. Pan Am, now that was indeed an impressive world-wide airline!!!
Sure, I think Pan Am deserves a video only for itself đđŒ
Very informative video. I've flown RyanAir (ugh...), Delta, United (not my fave), and American. I do like Delta but don't get to use them much, as I fly a lot of British Awys on American Air tickets.
Very good...
China southern, flown with them many times and they are very good. Flown with Ryan air once, first and last time.
What happened on your Ryanair flight that makes you tell this? đ
Top 10 Aviation bad service, surly staff, cramped planes (leg room) airport that was difficult to access. Ridiculous prices for on board food that tasted like cardboard.
Have you tried their lottery? đ
Was hoping to see Emirates airlines in the list đ€đ€
Well, Emirates is a big airline, but it's not in the top 10. Next video is about Emirates though, stay tuned! đ
@VORTEX_R3B3L đĄđĄ
Well, itâs a crime not to take 1 A380= 4 A320.
@@yash123nike That's a good point. No, they don't have the sheer numbers that others have, but look at their fleet, all wide body huge airplanes.
I fly a lot of Air China and United Airlines flights and I am proud to see them on this list!
Do both operate the same route on which you travel?
â@@busofmauritius8306 Yes, since I live close to D.C they both flew to Beijing, China before Covid struck, and now its only United Airlines that's operating that route. But I'm looking forward in the future when Air China opens back that route.
LOVE Air-IndiaâŠâŠ Great service & food customized to taste. Punctuality record is excellent!!!

I hope to be a pilot for delta one day, I never knew it had the 2nd biggest fleet in the world. I shall remember this fact for my interview to make it seem I know the company well, so thanks I guess. You have also got a new subscriber great video.
I wish you all the best with your future assessments, training, and carrier!
Thanks a lot for the support! Btw, if you have any video ideas that might help you with your future assessments or training please let me know and I will be more than happy to create something nice useful for you and any other aspiring pilots! I've done quite a few interviews so I will gladly help đđŒ
@@Top10Aviation thanks
Southwest was modeled after PSA, Ryanair was model after Southwest. Kenny Friedkin was a true visionary.
The only one of these I have flown is China Southern, I flew in their 787 Dreamliner, A350 and 737. The ticket prices are good, food is good especially for economy and the staff are quite nice.
I try not to play favorites with airlines but AA is my favorite airline. The flight attendant on the 787-9 took off his wings and said to me, âhere you go, youâre now a member of American Airlines flight crew.â He also gave me a 10 pack of junior wings that are normally handed out to little kids. I wore his wings on AAâs 777-300ER while siting in seat 1D which is the biggest, fastest, and highest plane Iâve flown on. I love AAâs flagship livery too, it was my favorite livery even before AA was my favorite airline.
Daamn that's a really impressive gesture from that flight attendant! You really had an awesome experience with them đđŒ
@@Top10Aviation That I did
Southwest airlines also briefly operated the 717. as they acquire them from airTran, and all 88 are actually still being leased to Delta Airlines
Really?! Delta has them? I have been wondering because I love the 717. I loved it when it was the MD 80 or 90 and I still love it as a 717! I guess I need to go back to DeltaâŠ.Uggghhh
@@davidscmann7084 well not any more i think delta retired them
@@iamlucap thank you!!! Itâs about time.
@@davidscmann7084 correction Delta has now brought 56 back along with several B757-200 due to growing demand now for domestic flights so yay? sorta
@@iamlucap cool. That is awesome about the 717 but the last thing delta needs is more of those overgrown 737âs. I mean 757s.
Emirates, qatar airways and singapore airlines plus qantas!..these are for me the best airlines... where b777 and a380 are common ...â€â€â€
Nice! You can check my video about Emirates then đ
Etihad my favorite
Great! đđŒ
Best vid ever
Thank you! Feel free to share it đ
đČđČ
I went on delta
It is good one
Also make a vid about the airline with the least planes
I love the way he explain
I flew with Ryanair when they only had one or two planes, summer of 1986, from Waterford in Ireland to Luton in the UK. they were on the verge of collapse at this stage. O'leary sure turned thing around..
I'm really interested in knowing how was Ryanair back then? I mean from a passenger point of view?
@@Top10Aviation I don't remember much about it to be honest, other than it was uneventful, It was a old propeller type plane. the flight would have only take about a hour or so. the service was just drinks and snacks, I remember they used to give people sweets for free near landing time. I remember having a really bad head cold at the time, I couldn't hear for about a day afterwards. Waterford airport has been closed for a number of years now. nothing there apart from the rescue helicopter...I don't believe in "Ryanair Bashing" I think if it wasn't for them we would still be paying the big boys through the nose for flights. they started a revolution. competition is great for everybody concerned.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Yes competition is good, but until what point? When you see airlines selling tickets for 0,1âŹ, you just want to scream...
I also flew with them around that time they ware not exactly trying to different just yet it was basicallyjust like air lingus or British Airways expect at that time but without the big brand felling if you get what I mean...But they changed the world (well at least Europe) for ordinary people like me to be able to fly more often when I Michael O'Leary took over . I still fly with them today and its super đ most of the people that complain about Ryanair are the sort of people that would have complain about something even if they ware giving a 1 st class ticket on the world's best airline they would be something wrong.
@@alcoyne3333333333333 how right you are my friend. they get a flight for a tenner and they want first class.
When I fly, I fly on Southwest pretty much exclusively. On time, consistently great service, & good value for the money. If Southwest doesn't fly there, then you don't need to go there! Period.
What a boring and dreary opinion. Southwest is a budget airline with no flights to interesting destinations overseas. I donât even feel like Iâm flying and getting the true experience on Southwest. Itâs more of a bus in the sky. Legacy carriers that service hundreds of destinations in the United States and around the world will always take precedence over Southwest in my opinion. I canât imagine spending the rest of my life flying 737âs to the same old destinations all the time. Youâre literally missing out on seeing the world if you exclusively fly Southwest. What a wasteâŠâŠâŠ.
FAA AIRLINE ON TIME STATISTICS:
SOUTHWEST IS ONLY FIFTH IN ON TIME STATISTICS SO NO, THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS ON TIME.
DELTA IS SECOND ONLY TO HAWIIAN AIRLINES!
Hawaiian Airlines: (87.4%)
Delta Airlines: (83.56%)
Alaska Airlines: (81.49%)
Spirit Airlines: (79.42%)

@@JustinLHopkins Exactly
I've flown Southwest and Delta. Delta isn't bad but Southwest is better. If they fly where I need to go I fly with them.
Wow
The most courteous flights I've been on is Mexicana. They give you a Wall Street journal when you take off and the service even in coach is outstanding way better than American airlines. The flights are always very smooth and no problem at all. I didn't apply them a lot flew mostly on American airlines cuz I covered the Southwest from San Antonio to Los Angeles, but really enjoyed flying on that airline service can't be beat. Maybe on some I haven't been on like some Asian airlines but other than that they are good. Aeromexico on the other hand has daredevils for pilots they're constantly moving the aircraft around up and down and right and left. You think they're trying to be daredevils. However I got there these are shorter flights like from Mexico City to Acapulco. But a lot different not quite a class and comfort of Mexicana
Fun fact: Aeroflot used to own 5000 aircrafts
*BLYAD*
đđ
Yes but were mostly used by the soviet army
Indeed, it used to be huge
In fact from a fleet size of 5400 in 1991 it shrunk dramatically to just 115 by 1996
Even bigger *BLYAD*
I have flown Air China, it was a really comfortable experience, ample leg room, nice vegan options and convenient connections.

list goes on and no time for delta!
Yes I've traveled coincidentally with all the 3 in the first spots. And my bad experiences are horrible. These maybe the biggest ones but it'd be nice to see the best ones in terms of comfort in economy, good customer support, etc. Of those 3 Delta had a good place in my "heart" until recently, is a total disaster now with many delays and almost impossible to reach the customer support by phone
You can't please everyone. With the massive size of these 3 Airlines, there is always going to be chaos.
Cool, but would've liked a more detailed explanation of their historical and present fleet.
I am travelling with Delta this month
Nice!! I wish you a nice flight!

I would not have thought that the 4 largest carriers would all be American carriers.
Why would they not be? The American domestic market is by far the largest in the world.

There are diffirent liveries on airplanes, for example norwegian paints a different Scandinavian person on the tail of their aircraft, ana paints their A380âs as turtles of different colours and air Baltic have 3 aircraftâs painted in the colours of the 3 Baltic countries, Ryanair has only one livery, this was what he meant :)

Top 10 Aviation your welcome
Iâve been on Delta and American Eagle before out of Harrisburg International Airport
When I heard him say RyanAir, I instantly thought of their terrible landings
Their landings are not comfortable but they know how to stop short even in wet conditions which is a win to me
@@Boss_Tanaka the secret is they donât have rolling wheels so they donât roll away during landing theyâre pretty much there for decoration
@@wilsoniothegreat6162 that may explain why l had to walk 2 miles from the aircraft to the terminal.
That's their signature
@@Boss_Tanaka lot of use those landings when you are deposited miles away , walking in the rain to your gate.
Actually the big 3 Chinese airlines are much bigger if their wholly-owned subsidiaries are included. Then again, all three a partially owned by the Chinese government.
You're totally right, but I decided not to include the subsidiaries in this top.
If I would've included them, the list would've been slightly different.
Dear, u know China đ
I like Bahamas Air.Also JetBlue and Emerites
Lol Ryanair is the best airline with the big meme
Hahah đ
Hahaha
I enjoyed this video, I am an aviation fanatic. However I also work for FedEx, and I believe our fleet number is closer to 650 aircraft. Check it out. And thanks for the video.
Thank you!
Actually as of yesterday Juky 12, Fedex has 475 airplanes both in service and parked đ
I flew with American Airline in the Airbus A320. Nice plane
Delta is the best of those mentioned. Lufthansa should have made this list -757 aircraft.
Thatâs only the LH Group, not the airline Lufthansa
China PM doesnt need a personal plane, he has an entire airline for his own use.
That's correct đđŒ
I've flown on all of the top 4. Southwest, Delta & United and actually worked for American Airlines. That was until they decided to drastically reduce their staff after 9/11. Can't say that I miss working for or flying on them, they are one of the rudest, anti-passenger minded airlines, only beaten out by United. Biggest doesn't always mean Best. I must say that of the top 4 Southwest wins hands down when it comes to customer/passenger service. Fly them on your Birthday and you'll see what exceptional customer/passenger service is.
What's your opinion of Continental Airlines (before the "merger" with United)? I was dead set against the merger. CO (under former CEO Gordon Bethune) was one of the best.
@@dwmzmm I loved Continental Airlines and was devastated when they mergeed with Untied (pun intended) Airlines
Southwest! You walk in, sit down, and go to your destination. I can't stand boarding other airlines. All I hear is "now boarding select, choice, gold group platinum A, 1st half. Again, select choice gold group platinum A, seats 1-12.5, now boarding." I just wanna get on the plane and head out, lol. Love the value and super friendly employees.
But you canât go anywhere outside of North America. Flying 737âs to the same old destinations in the US all the time gets boring. Legacy carriers that serve hundreds of cities on several different continents will always be far superior in my opinion. Southwest is basically a bus in the sky. Iâll take the 777âs that fly me to interesting places over Southwest any day.
I like the video
Thank you a lot!
When I was in the military coming home I flew Delta Sometimes ContinentI Before United bought it United and American Airlines .
Thank you for your comment sir!
Do you feel any difference between nowadays United and Continental you used to fly back in the days?
@@Top10Aviation I feel much difference I like the old Continental in the colors of the planes When I was in the service from 79 to 85 . I fly United from San Diego to Bogota Colombia . Big difference San Diego to Houston and then Houston over Bogota Colombia .
I must admit Continental's livery absolutely gorgeous đđŒ

I will never fly on a Chinese airline. All these aside, this channel is great at presentation. You deserve a million more subs. Subbed.
The best airlines I ever flew with was Mexicana, when we took off out of San Antonio to Mexico City they gave you a Wall Street journal and other newspapers available and the service was outstanding and the flight was outstanding. I mostly flew on the Continental to the West Coast American out of Dallas and Southwest but when I flew on Southwest they had the 737s where you sent backwards in a lot of the seats I didn't like that seemed like a cargo plane. I was in the Air Force reserve 6 years flew on all kinds of cargo planes. Back then mostly prop like the 127 and that type of aircraft. Used to fly on Brandon on their prop Jets. That was interesting kind of rough flying. Mexicana is still the best for me. Unbelievable service way better than American airlines not the company just US airlines. Same thing with the service at the top restaurants in Mexico much better than anything in the US servers are dressed and peckably, and have the stuff to you immediately and they basically don't talk they just serve. And you get your stuff immediately not like the US not even a comparison
They gave you a newspaper.....whoo hoo !
@@concorde1793 Unbelievably posh. Pretzels too, I'll bet.
And here I was, thinking that number one would be Emirates.
It's faaaar from being that big of a fleet.
I like Jetblue for Domestic flights, American is ok, some of my flights with them were good some were very forgettable.
Not gonna lie, i had no idea Ryanair was so big.
i fly in and out of ORD and listening to those China pilots flying in and out of ORD is either hilarious or painful
I feel you haha đ
Delta hail delta !!!

Yes; I've traveled on American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Trans Airlines and I think one or two others that I don't remember the name of; but, each airline that I traveled on were good traveling's by as I can't really recall having a bad experience on any of the airlines that I traveled on; however, I believe that all the airlines are good and wonderful to have choice to travel by to get persons to their desired destination as quickly as persons desire, want and or need for work, emergency of some kind or for vacationing.
Love Delta â
đđŒ Have you ever flown with them? How was it?
Iâve flown with China Southern for over 30 times in a 10-year span, and I guarantee you that it DOES NOT deserve the SKYTRAX 4-star rating. Itâs really not good.
Oh really? What exactly makes you say that? I believe you have enough experience with the company to share with us what exactly isn't right about them, I'm really curious ?
@@Top10Aviation the cabin crew and ground service are both decent but have been deteriorating for years, sometimes you can still see vomits and coffee stains all over your tray table from the previous passenger (and they still refuse to switch seats for you); customer service is horrible and treat you rudely UNLESS you speak English; the catering was bad and now is getting even worse; the fleet, although much younger in average comparing to its competitors, never refurbished the interior settings. The PTVs and seats are in an extremely outdated manner: minor malfunctions are frequent, the digital technology is so bad that makes their A380s interior looking like a 30+ years service plane. The price is also not cheap while during COVID, their ticket price soared up to $12K USD for those Chinese citizens who wish to return...
For some interesting reasons they leave a very decent impression to foreigners and SKYTRAX, probably through good marketing and point-to-point service when it comes to evaluations. But overall, itâs just not nice enough to be called a 4-star airline...
Iâve flown with Alaska, Delta, Air Canada and even WestJet. They have all left a better experience to me than CSN. If you have to fly with a Mainland Chinese airline, Sichuan Airlines and Hainan Airlines are the ways to go.
Damn, that was interesting to read! Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your experience and even help me with some tips. For sure I'll check on Sichuan and Hainan airlines for my next trip to China.
It's the first time I hear a crew that refuses to change the passenger's seat even though it is clearlt disgusting. If there're enough places, why not simply help him and make his trip more comfortable. Passenger's comfort and appreciation are keys since they are paying everyone's salary and without them the airline would simply not exist.
but you flew a bad airline 30 times!!!
@@oscarkamanda3301 I was stationed in Guangzhou and due to its hegemony strategy at its home base, there werenât much convenient options left. I stopped traveling with it since 2018
Fly often with ryanair on the leeds/bradford to alicante route, never had a problem with them, their boeing 737 fleet has an average age of about 2 or 3 years, all aircraft and pilots are cat3 trained as far as im aware so in bad weather most flights gets in and out ok
Ryanair is not bad in terms of aircraft fleet and pilot skills. It is actually all the opposite. As you said they have amongst the youngest fleet in Europe and their crew is very profesional and skillful!
@@Top10Aviation yes you are correct, makes me laugh how the general public complain when they have a bumpy ryanair landing when in fact sometimes they land hard for a reason, eg short runway at lba
@@easydrive3662 Sorry, but it's the worst airline I've ever flown with, closely followed by Delta and Air India
@@davidf6326 I'm of an age that can remember when flying in Europe cost five times what it does today. Thank God for Ryanair. I've never had a bad experience with them. Agreed, they don't have the frills of yester-year, but I don't expect it and frankly don't need it on flights that last between 1 and 3 hours.
Agree flying with Ryanair since the 80s never had a problem.
Awesome. I knew American airlines would win. Also I've flown American many times. đșđŸ
