Michael O'Leary
September 2017. Ryanair cancels over 700,000 bookings and its powerful PR juggernaut comes shuddering to a halt. For once, the airline's aggressive and flamboyant CEO, Michael O'Leary, is contrite and apologetic. A month later Ryanair announces increased passenger traffic for October, year-on-year growth and increased profits. Its share price soars. For the moment, it appears, a fundamental shake-up of Europe's biggest airline is off the table. But questions remain about the causes of the debacle and O'Leary's role in it. Michael O'Leary lifts the veil on the wildly successful and wildly controversial Ryanair CEO. Based on extensive research - including with close associates of O'Leary - the book examines O'Leary's personality, beliefs and obsessions and describes how these have moulded the business he runs. Written by a multi-award-winning journalist and broadcaster, with a thirty-year career covering business and current affairs, it is a fascinating insight into the business behind the man, and the man behind the business.
Michael O'Leary
Michael O'Leary is a business giant. He transformed Ryanair from a loss-making joke of an Irish carrier into one of the most valuable airlines in the world, and in the process he has revolutionized the very nature of commercial aviation. In this, the first biography of O'Leary, Alan Ruddock portrays the man in three dimensions and examines the business miracle - often talked about but poorly understood - that O'Leary has wrought. 'Ruddock's fast-paced retelling of Ryanair's rise and rise confirms O'Leary's insistence that his success has little to do with the management maxims of business gurus and everything to do with graft and ruthless attention to detail' Observer 'Probably the definitive Ryanair story ... a good read' Sunday Independent 'The fullest and most accurate picture of O'Leary to date' Irish Daily Mail 'Unlike previous books which simply chart the growth of the airline, this one is bound to get under O'Leary's skin because it reveals a great deal about his hugely driven character' Irish Independent 'Ruddock is good on the flavour of the man, a bundle of energy whose two favourite words start with an F and an S (they aren't flower and sugar)' Irish Examiner
Michael O'Leary
Michael O'Leary is a business giant, a man Fortune and Wired magazines describe as one of the most influential business leaders of this generation. He transformed Ryanair from a loss-making joke of an Irish carrier into the most valuable airline in Europe - and the second most valuable in the world. His formula of low fares and no frills, or flights to destinations most people had never heard of before, has created a generation of travellers who jump on planes as if they were buses. His face and his often outrageous views - on national governments, on the EU, and on his rivals - are rarely out of the papers. But for all the publicity, little is known about Michael O'Leary beyond the carefully constructed image that he chooses to present: of the plucky little Paddy in jeans who is sticking it to the big boys. In this, the first biography of O'Leary, the distinguished business journalist Alan Ruddock portrays the man in three dimensions, from his unsettled middle-class childhood to his meteoric rise to the top of Ryanair when still in his early thirties.

Plane Speaking
On airline security: ‘We are not going to die at the hands of toiletries.’On popularity: ‘I don’t give a shite if nobody likes me.’On customer service: ‘Are we going to apologise if something goes wrong? No, we’re f***ing not.’Refunds? ‘You can’t have one, so f*** off’. Airport operators? ‘Overcharging rapists’. The European Commission? ‘Communists’. Travel agents? ‘Fuckers’. Some might call it radical, ruthless business logic; others, the foulmouthed abuse of a shameless gobshite. Whatever: Michael O’Leary, the shrinking violet who is Chief Executive of the awesomely successful low-cost airline Ryanair, has made it his business to offer you his opinion on...
Ryanair
Just a few years ago, Ryanair was a tiny, impoverished airline competing unsuccessfully with Aer Lingus. In 2003, the company was worth more than British Airways. This is the updated story of its meteoric rise, told by both the people who have served the company and also through the eyes of major rivals.
