Ryanair Service Provision: Commissioner for Aviation Regulation and Irish Aviation Authority

Mr. Maurice O'Connor:
No. With regard to how fuel is managed, the Ryanair fuel policy is identical to the Aer Lingus fuel policy. In fact, I believe they use the same systems to calculate their fuel. I know that pilots in Ryanair have to write in a voyage report, a stairway of understanding why extra fuel was carried because of their cost-oriented attitude to things. They have been requested to write in a voyage report after they complete their assignment as to why they carried extra fuel above a certain number. I think it is 300 kg, but I cannot honestly remember the exact number.
