Briefings
Ryanair stated that fuel costs could increase by €2bn in 2028 if the US-Israel war with Iran continues. This potential rise in fuel expenses is the primary driver behind the proposed pay freeze and fare hikes. The announcement was made on November 2, 2026, and the specific impact on workers and passengers remains uncertain without a resolution to the conflict.
Key points
