## Excerpt

The average fare dropped 4% in the half-year, but the airline expects higher prices next year and is reviewing costs, including temporary pay freezes. Ryanair made about 2.15 billion euros in profit after tax in the half-year to 30 September 2026, 15% less than a year earlier, according to its results published on 2 November. The average fare fell 4% to 55.70 euros while operating costs rose 10%, and the company estimates about 2 billion euros of extra fuel costs in its next financial year. CEO Michael O'Leary said on 20 October that he expects fares across Europe to rise 10%, 15% or perhaps 20% next year, Euronews reports; that is his forecast, not a data point.
