Fleet
Ryanair claims to operate the newest, greenest, and quietest fleet of aircraft in Europe. As of August 2012, the average age of the Ryanair fleet is 4.2 years.
Ryanair's fleet reached 200 aircraft for the first time on 5 September 2009. All aircraft in the Ryanair fleet have been retrofitted with performance enhancing winglets and the more recent deliveries have them fitted as standard.
The company also owns a single Learjet 45, based at London Stansted Airport but registered in the Isle of Man as M-ABEU, which is mainly used for the quick transportation of maintenance personnel and small aircraft parts around the network.

sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”

Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
