    Ryanair have been charging this wheelchair levy to cover the cost to provide a wheelchair service for disabled passengers. Considering there are never more then 4 disabled passengers allowed on any one ryanair flight and in truth I would say 90% of all flights will be carrying NO disabled passengers. How much is Ryanair pocketing from its customers to cover the cost of providing a wheelchair service. Consider Ryanair have hundreds of flights each day of the week, their fleet size is about 186 planes at say 6 flights each per day is 1116 flights X 170 passengers =189720 passengers per day X 364 days = 69,058,080 now lets see wheel chair levy is 2 euros per pax = E138,116,160 so in the 10 yrs or so they have collected almost 1.4 billion Euros to fund access for how many disabled passengers on its entire rout network?????????
