Ryanair profits surge 40% to €2.26 billion despite Boeing delays and fuel crisis
Europe’s largest low-cost airline posted record annual profits as rising fares and sustained travel demand helped offset aircraft delivery delays and mounting uncertainty in global fuel markets due to the Iran war. Ryanair reported a record profit after tax of €2.26 billion for the year up to March 2026, representing a 40% rise from the previous fiscal year, while warning that volatility in oil prices and geopolitical risks remain key concerns for the airline industry.
