Low-cost airlines among the most valuable in the world

30-06-24

Low-cost airlines Ryanair and Southwest have achieved a significant milestone by ranking among the world's ten most valuable airlines. This achievement stands out especially because both airlines focus on regional operations, thus challenging the notion that only premium carriers can achieve high market values.

Southwest Airlines, based in the United States, has achieved a valuation of US$5,394 million, ranking fifth in the world. Ryanair, the Irish airline, ranks tenth with a valuation of $2.541 billion.
