Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O’Leary

Ryanair shares may have jumped 3% on Thursday alone and there was a mini spike in ticket sales after the online spat between Michael O’Leary and Elon Musk. But investors will be far more interested in what the airline is earning per passenger these days and what’s happening with a €256 million fine from the Italian Competition Regulator. And now we know that the average fare in the 3rd quarter was up 1 cent per passenger to €44.   But post tax profits were down 22% at €115m A lot to chat about with Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O’Leary.
