Ryanair CEO warns Middle East conflict to lift European air fares up to 20% in 2027

Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary predicts European air fares could rise by as much as 20% in 2027, driven by higher jet fuel costs from the Middle East conflict. He notes many carriers are unhedged, potentially leading to bankruptcies and consolidation. The forecast signals a significant cost-push shock to the aviation sector, with broader implications for inflation and consumer travel demand.
