Air International 2007-10 / B.Walters - Air versus Rail - Is air transport losing out to the trains? /Commercial/

One of the advantages of travelling by train is that railway stations tend to be located in the centre of a city, whereas airports can be in the suburbs. In addition, some low-fare carriers fly to secondary airports that can be some distance from the main city destination. One such airline is Ryanair that serves a number of this type of airports, such as Brussels South Charleroi and Frankfurt Hahn.
Ryanair has stuck to its business strategy since adopting the no-frills approach and has reported some impressive profits. The airline continues to grow, with an ever-expanding route network and fleet of Boeing 737-800s.
