Who do you think is a lower-cost operator, Wizz Air or Ryanair, and why?
They [Ryanair] are gaining an advantage that no one else is, in my view. This amazing work will allow them to keep costs low in the long run. They're trying to handle their own operations, so they don't have to pay third parties. They control all suppliers and everything else. They're doing this quietly while focusing on keeping their planes full, rather than making opportunistic money in the short term. Looking at their accounts, they keep telling the market, "Guys, we are here for the long run." They are already number one in Italy and Spain. Eventually, they will become number one in other countries. They are the pan-European authentic low-cost carrier.
