Revenue Performance

In the half-year ended September 30, 2024, Ryanair Holdings PLC reported a 2% decrease in scheduled revenues, amounting to €5.95 billion. This decline was attributed to factors such as the shift of Easter into the fourth quarter of FY24, consumer spending pressures, and a reduction in OTA bookings. Despite these challenges, traffic increased by 9% to 115.3 million passengers.

Ancillary Revenue Growth

Ryanair Holdings PLC experienced a 10% increase in ancillary revenues, reaching €2.74 billion for the half-year ended September 30, 2024. This growth was driven by strong performance in areas such as priority boarding and reserved seating, which helped offset the decline in scheduled revenues.

Operating Profit Decline

The company reported a 17% decrease in operating profit, which stood at €2.01 billion for the half-year ended September 30, 2024. This decline was primarily due to increased operating expenses, including fuel and oil costs, which impacted overall profitability.

Profit for the Period

Ryanair Holdings PLC's profit for the half-year ended September 30, 2024, was €1.79 billion, a decrease from €2.18 billion in the same period the previous year. The reduction in profit was influenced by higher operating expenses and a challenging economic environment.

The company is also addressing challenges related to Boeing delivery delays and aims to continue expanding its traffic growth in the coming quarters.
