> Ryanair says European short-haul fares could rise materially next year if elevated oil prices persist, warning that some airlines may not survive the winter. The Irish budget carrier cut its passenger target for the year to 31 March from 216 million to 214 million to limit exposure to unhedged winter fuel costs.
