RYANAIR UK LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 01917579, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 30 May 1985 and lists its registered address as Stansted, United Kingdom. 2 shareholders are on record for RYANAIR UK LIMITED, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Companies House and was last updated on 9 October 2026.

Shareholders

2

Two shareholders are currently on record for RYANAIR UK LIMITED, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

The largest of these is RYANAIR DAC, holding 99% — a majority holding — followed by WESTMINSTER AVIATION HOLDINGS LIMITED at 1%.

Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Officers

5

Two of the 5 officer records shown for RYANAIR UK LIMITED are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Richard Milliken (appointed 2023-06-15) and Jonathan Bailey (appointed 2024-04-03) both serve as Director. The remaining 3 records shown (Neil Sorahan, Neal McMahon and 1 other) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

The register reports 13 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at RYANAIR UK LIMITED sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.

The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Group Structure

RYANAIR UK LIMITED sits 2 levels below its ultimate parent, THE LAW DEBENTURE CORPORATION P.L.C., registered in United Kingdom. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. Immediately above RYANAIR UK LIMITED is WESTMINSTER AVIATION HOLDINGS LIMITED, holding 1% as filed in RYANAIR UK LIMITED's own shareholder record with Companies House. THE LAW DEBENTURE CORPORATION P.L.C. sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 1 subsidiary spans United Kingdom, Norway jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. One of the 1 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
