The shares rose to record levels.The biggest threats to profit growth this fiscal year are tariffs and geopolitical developments, O’Leary added. Still, the company signaled confidence in its business plan and the strength of its balance sheet with a €750 million ($839 million) share buyback.US-listed shares of Ryanair shares advanced 5.5% in premarket trading.The fare outlook “is far stronger than we had expected,” Bernstein analyst Alex Irving said in a research note. This “could put the group on track for fare levels seen in highly profitable spring 2023.”Weak ticket pricing last summer contributed to a 16% drop in profit for the year ended March 31, Ryanair said Monday in a statement. That was partly due to disputes between the airline and ticket-selling websites that led to its removal from some platforms.Profit after tax was €1.61 billion, reaching the high end of the company’s predicted range. Ticket prices fell 7%, and passenger traffic rose to just over 200 million from 183.7 million in 2024.Tariffs imposed by the US have sewn uncertainty in the aviation industry and turned off some European customers from flying to the US. The unilateral action by President Donald Trump has also disrupted the free flow of aircraft and weakened US consumers feeding travel to Europe. Still, O’Leary said, “huge volumes of Americans are coming to Europe for the summer.”Like other airlines, the Irish carrier is awaiting the outcome of trade talks between the US and the European Union, after EU officials threatened to target Boeing Co. jets with retaliatory tariffs in response to US levies imposed in April.Ryanair, which operates an all-Boeing fleet and is the US manufacturer’s biggest customer in Europe, has said it would consider scrapping its $33 billion plane order and switching to an alternate manufacturer if the added fees took effect.“We have to reserve the right to cancel if we saw an increase in our prices,” Chief Financial Officer Neil Sorahan said in an interview. “We would hope that sense will prevail and tariffs won’t come to pass.”For their part, US carriers including Delta Air Lines Inc. have refused to pay surcharges on aircraft from Boeing’s European rival Airbus SE. A new commercial jetliner can cost tens of millions after industry discounts, and range into several hundred of millions.The airline said it was too early to provide guidance for this year because it has no visibility into the second half of fiscal 2026.Manufacturing issues at Boeing have already slowed deliveries for Ryanair. Europe’s dominant low-cost carrier has twice lowered its passenger forecast for the current fiscal year; it now stands at 206 million, up from 200.2 million passengers in fiscal 2025.“We’re not going to go through this summer with loads of delivery delays,” O’Leary said.Ryanair is the first major budget carrier in Europe to report earnings for the quarter. EasyJet will post its results on Thursday, followed by Wizz on June 5.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"express","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
