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.

Passenger numbers rose 4% to 208.4 million during its 2025-26 period, despite continued delays with Boeing aircraft deliveries which constrained capacity growth.

Revenue per passenger also increased 7%, driven by 10% higher fares, while operating costs only rose 6%, keeping unit cost growth at 1%. Total revenue increased 11% to €15.54 billion.
