In November 2011, Ryan took delivery an Airbus A330-300, which it leased from Virgin Atlantic Airways. In February 2012, Ryan furloughed Pilots, Flight Attendants and support staff. On March 6, 2012, Ryan filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing "unexpected and dramatic reductions in military flying." On April 1, 2012, Ryan lost its bid to continue flying for the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The loss of the DHS contract resulted in the immediate grounding of four MD-80 aircraft to cut costs.  

On August 1, 2012, Ryan returned its A330-300 to Virgin Atlantic, ending its lease and accepting an older model A330-200 formerly operated by Atlasjet. Fifteen days later Ryan announced it would furlough 30 pilots and 60 flight attendants. On January 11, 2013, Ryan International Airlines' CEO announced that the airline had gone into liquidation. Its staff was dismissed and the company ceased operations.
