Aer Dogs
€19.99
By: Tom Lyons
This is the story of a small team of Irish trailblazers who made low-cost air travel available to billions of people across Europe, Asia, North America and Latin America.
It is a story that traces its roots back to Tony Ryan, the aviation pioneer behind leasing giant GPA and Ryanair. But it is the story of what happened next.
It is the story of Irelandia, a groundbreaking aviation investment company led by Ryan’s son, Declan Ryan, a company that took Ryanair’s low cost DNA global through a string of airlines: Allegiant, Tiger Airwats, Viva Aerobus and Viva Air. It is a story of the ultra- competitive world of aviation, a world where fortunes can be gained and lost.
