What is the Ryanair turnaround time?

• A. 15 minutes
• B. 30 minutes
• C. 25 minutes
• D. 45 minutes

Answer: (C)

Turnaround time is the period the aircraft spends on the ground between arriving and preparing for the next departure, and it must cover all steps needed to ready the plane for the next flight: disembarkation, quick cabin cleaning, restocking and catering as required, security checks, and boarding for the next passengers. Ryanair runs many short-haul services and relies on high aircraft utilization, so the emphasis is on a compact, fixed window that still allows these essential tasks to be completed safely and efficiently. The best choice describes this short, efficient turnaround that keeps aircraft moving; a window that's too short would risk missing critical steps, while a longer one would waste time and reduce availability. In practice, actual times can vary by airport and flight, but the principle is a tight, efficient ground time.
