EconomyRyanair weighs pay freezes and fewer crew as fuel costs surge

Ryanair is considering pay freezes, lower crew numbers on flights and greater use of AI to offset fuel costs driven up by the Middle East conflict. It expects its fuel bill to rise by about €2bn in the next financial year and says European airlines may raise fares by up to 20%. Quarterly post-tax profit fell 6% to €1.61bn, while passenger numbers rose 5% to 64.5 million.
