No, it's proximity to where people live and low costs. Ryanair is a universally hated - not disliked, no, outright hated - airline despite its 100% safety record, in over 25 years of operation they never had a single lethal accident. KLM, which was involved in the Tenerife disaster, the most horriffic air crash in history, is a lot better liked. The reason people fly Ryanair instead of KLM is that you can fly from easy to reach local airports. Within an hour of travel by car, 3 Ryanair bases are located from where I live: Eindhoven, Düsseldorf, and Weeze. The closest international operations base of KLM is Schiphol, which is twice as far away.
My experiences with KLM are rare but were very positive. I still fly with these cunts from Ryanair because Eindhoven is just too close and too easy to travel to (even by train and bus it's just an hour away from here) to justify travelling twice as far and paying a slightly (or significantly) higher fare just to avoid them.
