Ryanair achieved a landmark by flying over 200 million passengers in the latest financial year; however, fares fell 7% compared to the previous year. While revenue rose 4% to â¬13.95 billion, operational costs surged by 9%, with challenges stemming from rising staff costs and delayed aircraft deliveries from Boeing. Despite these setbacks, demand for summer 2025 appears robust, and Ryanair aims to recover fare declines, yet continued uncertainties exist regarding future pricing and growth capabilities due to reliance on close-in bookings.
The absence of a full Easter in Q1, consumer spending pressure and a big drop off in online travel agent bookings prior to summer '24 necessitated repeated price stimulation last year.
We cautiously expect to recover most, but not all of last years 7pc fare decline, which should lead to reasonable net profit growth in FY26, it is far too early to provide any meaningful guidance.
