Ryanair reduced its fiscal 2027 passenger target from 216 million to 214 million to limit its exposure to unhedged fuel costs during the winter months, when it typically records losses. The airline said the move would cut winter losses by €70 million to €100 million.

What did Ryanair say about airfares in Europe?

Ryanair warned that if oil prices remain elevated through the summer of 2027, short-haul airfares across Europe could rise materially. It also said that rivals with less fuel hedging might struggle to maintain their schedules or could be forced to cut flights.

Which outlets disagreed on the cause of high fuel prices?
