Ryanair flight prices set to soar as CEO Michael O'Leary slams Brexit as 'height of idiocy'

Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has warned of price hikes for flights over the next few years.

O'Leary said flying has become "too cheap" as the aviation industry costs have jumped and a number of airlines are facing staff shortages. He said: "I find it absurd every time that I fly to Stansted, the train journey into central London is more expensive than the air fare."

O'Leary said that with a combination of high oil prices and environmental charges, the average Ryanair ticket is expected to soar to €50 to €60 in the next five years. He also slammed the British government saying Brexit was the "height of idiocy".
