Ryanair on Monday claimed report summer season earnings, but CEO Michael O’Leary warned that the winter season is probably to be “incredibly fragile.”

“We look set for a potent winter but I’m conscious last 12 months we had omicron at the conclude of November which crushed Xmas and the Ukraine invasion crushed Easter,” O’Leary told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Europe” on Monday.

The Irish airline posted its most significant at any time immediately after-tax profit for the 6 months to September at 1.37 billion euros ($1.37 billion) on Monday. 

There was an expectation that desire could shrink as the cost-of-residing disaster normally takes its toll on family budgets across Europe, but hunger for vacation is still there, he said.

We look set for a strong winter, says Ryanair CEO

“We’ve been waiting around for desire to tighten up but we’ve not witnessed it however — but there is a fragility there,” O’Leary advised CNBC. “[People] ended up locked up for two many years [during the Covid-19 pandemic], travel is one of the items they’re going to maintain executing,” he stated.
