Ryanair raises fares after profits hit by lower ticket prices

Ryanair, Europe’s biggest budget airline, experienced a 16% decline in after-tax earnings, which fell to €1.61 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.
This decline followed a 7% average ticket price drop last year driven by high interest rates, inflation, weaker consumer spending, and unfavorable Easter timing.
Lower fares stimulated passenger growth to a record 200 million, despite Boeing aircraft delivery delays forcing Ryanair to reduce its passenger forecast for 2025-26 to 206 million.
CEO Michael O'Leary said fares are rising sharply, expecting a mid-high teen percent increase for summer 2025, and cautiously expects to recover most fare declines but warns profits remain exposed to tariff wars, geopolitical risks, and air traffic control issues.
Ryanair plans gradual profit growth in 2025-26 amid strong summer demand but acknowledges external risks could significantly impact financial outcomes.
