Ryanair will increase flight ticket prices this summer: here's how much they are increasing and why

Airline giant Ryanair is expected to increase ticket prices by 5-10% this summer due to delays in Boeing's delivery of new planes. This was announced by the company's CEO, Michael O'Leary, who warns of the risk that all this could lead to a reduction in Ryanair's capacity to offer seats on board. O'Leary explained that although 57 Boeing 737 Max 8200 deliveries were expected by March, only 40 to 45 are expected to arrive this summer. Boeing began having difficulties following an accident in which an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 lost a door shortly after takeoff. . The subsequent strengthening of controls on the vehicle by the American authorities thus slowed down production and delivery times. For the company's customers, this is a new blow from Ryanair, which had already announced last year the increase in ticket prices and the goodbye to low-cost flights due to the new directives on flight prices included in the Meloni government's decree on assets and investments.
