The boss of Ryanair has warned the era of ultra-low airfares is over and said Brexit is partly to blame for a shortage of airport workers that has created chaos during the peak holiday period.
The airline’s chief executive, Michael O’Leary, said surging oil prices would make it impossible to keep offering promotional tickets for less than €10 (£8.50). He added that Ryanair’s average fare would rise from about €40 towards €50 over the next five years as the company adjusted to rising inflation.
“I don’t think there are going to be €10 flights any more because oil prices are significantly higher as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” O’Leary told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
Probably net net good for the planet.
Good! It’s a joke really that one can pollute that much for only 10€.
Good.
Probably those frenchmen again!
There were never really any €10 airfares on Ryanair anyway because even though that was the ticket price by the time you’d paid for all the non-optional extras it was more like €40. It was all clickbait headline grabbing bullshit. The only time Ryanair was truly cheap was if you were flying at 5am to somewhere nobody has ever heard of, you don’t take any luggage, don’t reserve your seat, and bring your own boarding pass. Also don’t do anything else on board except sit and look out of the window.
Am I going crazy? 10€ airfares were probably last seats on planes just to make them full. It’s not that seat that is the big polluter. If anything, it’s making sure that, if you’re going to pollute anyway, at least you carry more people with you.
It’s the whole “chicken nuggets aren’t nutritious because they are made of everything but the meat”. No, motherfucker. If you’re going to kill the chicken, at least use all of it.
Please don’t
Ryanair flies to many regional/sub-metropolitan airports that are rarely served by main line carriers; in some places it is the only option
