  • Strategic Analysis of Ryanair
    Strategic analysis of Ryanair Master’s Thesis Copenhagen Business School January 13th 2020 Program: MSc. International Business Author: George-Cristian Prichinet Supervisor: Number of standard pages: 78 Niels Le Duc Number of characters: 156,343 Executive Summary During the past decades, Ryanair’s strategies and continuous growth have successfully turned the company from a single route airline into the largest low cost carrier in Europe. However, Ryanair is currently facing a major disruption: Brexit. United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union has created a great wave of uncertainty that is set to also impact the airline industry. With 30% of its revenues coming from flights within and connecting the United Kingdom, Ryanair is now facing a series of decision that need to be taken in order to ensure a smooth transition after Brexit. The scope of this thesis is to provide Ryanair with a number of strategic options that could help it adapt to the impact of Brexit. In this regards, an in depth strategic analysis is conducted, with the results serving as a knowledge base for a scenario planning analysis. The scenarios developed are to present the issues Ryanair might encounter in different situations and it is on these issues that the strategic recommendations are based on. The thesis mainly consists of three main parts: Company Overview, Strategic analysis of Ryanair and Scenario planning, with the latter being the main focus of the thesis. The Company overview presents and analyzes the history of Ryanair, its corporate structure and governance, its vision and mission alongside its business model and its competitors.

  • Consolidation of Airlines in Europe. Potential Acquisition of Norwegian by Easyjet
    Consolidation of airlines in Europe. Potential acquisition of Norwegian by EasyJet Dmitrii Ponomarev Dissertation written under the supervision of António Borges de Assunção Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of requirements for the MSc in Finance, at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, June 2020. Abstract Europe is one of the largest airline markets with a significant share of passengers withing Europe being flown by low-cost carriers, while long-haul passengers are almost entirely transported by traditional flag carriers. While Full-Service airlines have been actively trying to penetrate the low-cost market, Norwegian and some other LCCs entered the long-haul market. As this industry is risky and capital extensive, while also being highly competitive, we may expect a consolidation of European airlines. A merger between the second-largest low-cost carrier in Europe EasyJet and smaller but operating rather unique business model Norwegian would allow a boost of passengers for both airlines, open new markets, and deliver significant revenue and cost synergies especially on the side of struggling to fill their planes and maintain its margins Norwegian, and would create a new second-largest airline in Europe. We expect a transaction between two Airlines to happen in the last quarter of 2020, EasyJet is suggested to pay the premium of 20% over the market price, the total purchase would cost ₤1040m and generate ₤524m in Net Synergies after transaction costs. Suggested financing assumes using existing cash, debt, and stock issuance. The industry is highly dependent on the developments related to the COVID-19 outbreak, therefore we suggest constant revaluation of the deal as long as the new information appears.
