Overview

  • Ryanair's net profit for FY2024/25 fell 16% to €1.6 billion, driven by a 7% drop in average ticket prices.
  • Despite Boeing delivery delays, the airline carried a record 200 million passengers, though it missed its 205 million target.
  • Ryanair has secured Boeing's agreement to honor pricing on current aircraft orders, with plans to adjust orders if prices rise.
  • Management forecasts a 15–20% increase in ticket prices this quarter, partly attributed to the late Easter in April 2025.
  • Bookings for FY2025/26 are up 1% year-over-year, with expectations of 206 million passengers and share price gains reflecting strong demand.
