Ryanair anulează mii de zboruri și anunță scumpiri

Ryanair plans to cut around 10,000 flights for the winter season due to high fuel prices, warning of potential ticket price increases next year. The airline reported a 6% rise in passengers last month, totaling 22.2 million, with a stable occupancy rate of 96%. However, it has lowered its passenger forecast for the 2026-2027 period from 216 million to 214 million, aiming to mitigate exposure to rising fuel costs. The company will reduce flights between November 2026 and March 2027, particularly on routes with significant losses. Ryanair estimates that these changes could save between 70 and 100 million euros, as it faces rising fuel costs influenced by geopolitical tensions. Currently, 80% of its fuel is hedged at approximately $67 per barrel, while market prices are around $140 per barrel.
