DUBLIN (Reuters) – Ticket prices for short-haul flights across Europe next summer will be significantly higher than they were before the COVID-19 pandemic, Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O’Leary told Reuters on Thursday.

O’Leary stated that bookings for the next months will be “patchy”, and there would be periods of high demand during October school holidays, as well as Christmas. Current prices are low.

O’Leary spoke out after the annual general meeting to say that “prices will rise during October and Christmas” and that the market for short-haul flights across Europe is 20% smaller than it was pre-COVID.
