Ryanair is considering cost-cutting measures such as salary freezes, reducing cabin crew, and increasing AI use due to rising fuel prices. Ticket prices may rise by up to 20% in Europe, with fuel costs expected to increase by around €2 billion next financial year. CEO Michael O’Leary warned that ongoing Middle East conflicts could keep fuel prices high until 2027. The airline is reevaluating all expenses and slowing down recruitment of pilots and cabin crew. Unions oppose these plans, citing existing salary agreements. AI is already being used to optimize flight operations, enhancing productivity.
