The AI's read
More passengers are flying Ryanair, yet lower fares and rising costs are cutting profit. Fuel and oil costs rose 15%, and operating profit fell 16%. Ryanair has covered about 80% of its fiscal 2027 fuel needs, but only 25% of its fiscal 2028 needs. The CEO also warned fares may not rise enough to cover the expected fuel-cost increase. New routes, aircraft that use less fuel, and strong cash reserves help, but they do not erase the profit decline and fuel risk.
