Ryanair DAC (Designated Activity Company) is the core Irish operating entity of the Ryanair group, sharing the FR IATA code with the broader Ryanair brand. It operates hundreds of Boeing 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 aircraft from its Dublin base and across a network of European bases. The Ryanair group's immense scale — with a combined fleet of over 325 aircraft and an average age of 11.1 years — means disruptions affect large numbers of passengers daily. EU regulation EC 261/2004 applies to all Ryanair DAC flights departing from EU airports. Passengers facing delays exceeding 3 hours or cancellations may be entitled to compensation of up to €600, regardless of the fare paid. EU Regulation EC 261/2004 entitles you to fixed compensation — regardless of what the airline tells you.
