For travellers hoping to secure a cheap European getaway in 2027, Ryanair has delivered a warning that could make early planning more important. The airline expects short-haul air fares across Europe to rise materially next summer if oil prices remain high.
The warning came as Ryanair announced cuts to its winter schedule to limit the financial impact of higher fuel costs. The prospect could affect millions of passengers who rely on low-cost airlines for affordable trips across the continent.
