Reuters was first to report that Ryanair CEO Micheal O’leary no longer sees a risk of double-digit percentage falls in fares as the European short-haul weakness had “levelled out”.

Market Impact

The news caused Ryanair shares to rise by as much as 6% – they were the second-best performer on the pan-European STOXX 600 and gave a boost to rivals Wizz Air and easyJet. Last month, O’leary’s warning about weakening ticket prices during the busy summer months had knocked 15% off the budget carrier’s share price.
