Ryanair reports near-zero jet fuel supply concerns for summer amid Iran conflict and warns of potential future price increases
Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary stated the airline has 'almost zero concerns' about jet fuel supplies this summer, citing Europe's access to alternative sources from West Africa, Norway, and the Americas. The airline warned that if the Iran conflict persists beyond 12 months, fuel prices could rise approximately 5% and some European carriers with lower hedging could face insolvency. Ryanair has hedged 80% of its fuel requirements to April 2027 at $67 per barrel.
