Ryanair is one of the world’s largest ultra low cost carriers, and is known for their incredibly low fares within Europe (and beyond).

Its interesting the name they have chosen as Buzz was a low-cost brand of KLM uk formerly which they eventually sold to Ryanair - so they are basically resurrecting this albeit with awful branding...
some of the worst photoshop work in these pictures we've seen for a while. jesus.
I think the headrest of the first row is in upright position and the next three rows of seats are reclined to look more spacious.
The logo is quite similar to BusyBee (Norway) and the name is the same as the LC of KLM (yellow and purple combination, yikes)
Hmmm... I'm reminded of Joon, which I predicted would be shut-down before it ever became airborne. What's the point of all these airlines within an airline? Seems to me all they do is dilute the brand.
I know lots of people have complaints about Ryanair, but they are the only airline serving the airport in Beziers, France, and since our house is only an hour away we often use this LCC to fly up to England. The fares are so ridiculously low that once every couple of months we fly up to London for a weekend, to see a play and visit with friends. Our last trip costs my husband and me 38 euros each, roundtrip Beziers - Stansted. All our Ryanair flights have operated on-time, the planes are immaculate (if garish on the inside, with the screaming yellow cabin trim), and the cabin crews young, friendly and helpful. What's not to like?
Most important question is whether Buzz will feature Ryanair's signature hard landings. A flare costs extra on Ryanair.
As Esteban says very similar to the old BusyBee logo on the tail, plus the yellow line down the side.
Where this get really weird is what happened to BusyBee.
After a bankruptcy in 1992 it was restarted under a different name after a member of the pilot group got a childhood lawyer friend and ex pilot in the Norwegian air force help them raise money to keep going.
The lawyer in question was Bjorn Kjos and the name of the new company was Norwegian Air Shuttle.
Wikipedia claims that for the first 4 months of it's life Norwegian Air Shuttle kept the bee and yellow logo as their livery, before adopting a new livery that lasted until they became a LCC and adopted the red noses for their then new aircraft the B737.
Ryanair's research has concluded that Buzz is the airline millennials want and will be eager to fly!
It is a terrible brand and the livery is even worse
Low cost doesn’t need mean that the name and brand need to look terrible and whilst Ryanair do everything to keep costs down they could have spent more than $10 dollars on branding
Aren't those bees just the most adorable brand in aviation? :p
However, I need to remind everyone that "buzzed" flying is "drunk" flying.
So no flights to the US, as the FAA will never approve their app. 😉
As long as they have a cart filled with different cannabis choices it will be a huge success........and their clothing policy better be skimpy!
Perhaps this will be the lower LCC subsidiary of Ryanair. Perhaps stand up seating is in order.
The livery, though odd, is still better than WOW's. I don't hate it.
Hey, United! When you gonna bring back "Ted?"
it seems an odd decision to move away from the Ryanair brand.
i wonder if there's a legal reason - something about making it a properly separate entity ?
Flew Ryanair today from Krakow KRK to Stockholm Skavsta NYO. Flight attendants wore Jackets labeled Buzz.
All propaganda is phony...........
Rolls Royce don't advertise and Ferrari don't give discount.......Why. Simples...They don't have to.
Any advertiasing is for sales..........and discounts are for the comsumer.....If a company can sell at full price and more they will.............It's simple business.......
Car manufacturers for example............max units 120k...........what can we sell the car for to get 120k customers ? That is what the vehicle will be sold for not the 4k it costs to make the average small car...............Advertising is used to achieve the best revenue for a company.......If people stopped buying teeshirts etc which advertise a prodcur such as Coka-Cola for a rediculous price.............They would give us them for free to carry on there selling campaigne.......So ! don't trust advertising and don't pay to advertise company products.....or they will treat like the stupid comsumers ...........we are!
