Ryanair is the only airline to certain destinations no matter how much you are willing to pay. And they have form for manipulation. For a long time if you wanted to opt out of their insurance, you had to set that as your nationality...
Surely it's not Ryanair's fault if others are not willing to compete for certain destinations.
So if you are Ryanair you aim at doing more destinations and paid "extras", if you are Alitalia you aim at doing fewer destinations on a much bigger price mark.
> it’s not their fault there’s no competition
Perhaps you could rephrase your rebuttal? It doesn’t quite make sense as I am interpreting it.
