European Airlines Descend Despite EasyJet Profit Boost
European airline stocks nosedived on Tuesday despite easyJet upgrading its profit guidance for the year.
- Financial Times
EasyJet upgrades profit forecasts
EasyJet said full-year profits would be at the top end of its forecasts, after a boost from pilot strikes at rivals British Airways and Ryanair. The budget airline reported on Tuesday that it expected to deliver a profit before tax of between £420m and £430m for the 12 months ending September 30. Ryanair has also had strikes by pilots in the UK and Spain, although its flights were largely unaffected.

EasyJet takes profit and pleasure from British Airways’ misfortune
Its baggage is always first on the carousel, ahead of Ryanair’s surcharged suitcases. If anything, it sounds like easyJet, in its full-year trading update. EasyJet passengers will also have taken pleasure from taking off when others could not, as investments in “operational resilience” — ie, crew rosters and standby aircraft — meant fewer cancellations since last September, while BA and Ryanair were leaving 235,000 people grounded.

Ryanair boss slams UK aviation regulator after Thomas Cook collapse
Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary slammed Britain's aviation regulator on Tuesday, saying its soft licensing rules contributed to the chaos around Thomas Cook's bankruptcy. O'Leary, whose low-fare model has squeezed less competitive rivals, said the tour operator model was "dead" and Thomas Cook's collapse last week was no surprise. "How you can license Thomas Cook in April as fit to fly for another 12 months and then it goes bust in September.

UPDATE 1-Ryanair to ask Boeing to 'eat' any EU tariffs in jet trade war
The head of Ireland's Ryanair on Tuesday urged the United States and European Union to pull back from a tariff war over aircraft subsidies and said he would ask Boeing to "eat" any counter-tariffs imposed on the U.S. firm by the EU. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is expected to give the green light this week to U.S. tariffs on billions of dollars of European goods, including Airbus jets, in a move likely to be mirrored by European tariffs on U.S. planes and goods next year.

Brexit to have no long-term impact on Ryanair -O'Leary
Britain's decision to leave the European Union will have no long-term impact on Ryanair, Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said on Tuesday, adding that the UK would need an EU trade deal and it was unrealistic to think otherwise. "If you look out long enough, I don't think Brexit has any affect on our business," O'Leary said at a Reuters Newsmaker event in London, adding that he thought Britain and the EU would reach a trade deal and retain the Open Skies aviation agreement. "The UK's national interest is best served, I think, by staying in the European Union.

Ryanair CEO: hard Brexit increasingly unlikely
The odds that Britain will leave the European Union without a deal are decreasing, budget carrier Ryanair's CEO said on Thursday. "It is increasingly unlikely that there's going to be a hard Brexit," Michael O'Leary said at a news conference in Vienna.

Thomas Cook collapse boosts rival holiday companies, budget airlines
Thomas Cook's collapse boosted shares in TUI and budget airlines easyJet and Ryanair on Monday as investors pinned hopes on the tour operator's closure cutting capacity in the saturated European holiday market. At 0725 GMT, rival tour operator TUI was up as much as 8.4% at its highest since February, easyJet was up 6.1% and Ryanair was 2.6% higher, the three top gainers on the pan European STOXX 600 index. "Thomas Cook's collapse likely brings bad news for holiday makers and UK/German governments, but takes capacity out and likely will boost shares most exposed to its markets," said one dealer.

Ryanair UK pilots cancel this month's strikes
Ryanair pilots based in the United Kingdom have canceled five days of strikes set for this month, as unions and the low-cost airline gear up for further talks. Strikes set for September 21, 23, 25, 27 and 29 will not go ahead, Ryanair said, as it called on the pilots to resume discussions in the East Midlands or in Dublin next week. The pilots, who are members of pilots union BALPA, announced the strikes earlier this month, after earlier walkouts caused little disruption.
Reuters VideosUK will agree Brexit deal - Ryanair CEO
Outspoken, controversial, Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has been a vocal critic of the risks to the airline sector posed by Brexit. Ahead of it happening, he said, the UK was suffering 'political craziness'. Once that had passed, its only choice would be to reach a Brexit deal. (SOUNDBITE) (English) RYANAIR CHIEF EXECUTIVE MICHAEL O'LEARY, SAYING: "The UK's national interest is best-served by staying in the European Union, it's nuts to leave it. But if you are going to leave, the first thing you've got to do on the day after you leave is re-negotiate a trade deal with the European Union. It's still going to be the UK's biggest trading partner." O'Leary campaigned for Britain to remain in the EU in the 2016 referendum. Since then, Britain and the EU have agreed a deal to allow flights to continue in the short-term. But, he noted, there was still uncertainty. (SOUNDBITE) (English) RYANAIR CHIEF EXECUTIVE MICHAEL O'LEARY, SAYING: "Am I confident of anything in the next 5-10 weeks? No. I have no idea what's going to happen. I suspect that, on balance, what happens is there's going to be some kind of a Brexit, but with a deal." In the longer term, Brexit, he thinks, will not impact on Ryanair's business. Though the business itself is in transition. As are the competitors to what is Europe's largest budget airline: (SOUNDBITE) (English) RYANAIR CHIEF EXECUTIVE MICHAEL O'LEARY, SAYING: "I think it is inevitable that in the next five or six years Europe consolidates around four large carriers, each with around twenty percent market share - IAG, Lufthansa, Air France KLM and Ryanair. Everybody else either disappears, merges, gets taken over or partners with one or other of those big four." Tour operator Thomas Cook's exit from the market in recent weeks, he claimed, shows the traditional tour package is - quote - "dead". Britain's aviation regulator, the CAA, contributing to the chaos around its collapse, he added, through a 'deficient' licensing regime.
Reuters VideosRyanair cuts jobs, offers O'Leary a $111mln bonus
Conflicting fortunes Thursday for Ryanair staff, and the Ryanair boss. Europe's largest budget airline says it plans to cut as many as 700 positions. Some could go at the Dublin headquarters. At least some will be compulsory redundancies. The move comes after the airline said it had a surplus of 500 pilots. It's a different story though for high-profile boss Michael O'Leary. On Thursday (September 19) Ryanair shareholders narrowly approved a bonus scheme that could see him pocket 100 million euros over five years. That's about 111 million dollars. To get the payout O'Leary has to either double profitability or double the share price within the period. One stumbling block to that in the near term: the airline's Boeing MAX jets are still stuck on the ground. The type has been out of operation for months following two fatal crashes at other airlines. Boeing hopes to get the all-clear for U.S. flights before the end of the year. But on Thursday O'Leary said it could be February or March before they're flying again in Europe.
Reuters VideosBudget airline blues: Strikes at Ryanair, debt woes at Norwegian
Europe's budget airlines faced fresh trouble on Monday (September 2) morning. Ryanair, the region's biggest, enduring a second multi-day strike by its British-based pilots. The airline says travelers should see minimal disruption. But the stoppage is just the latest in a summer of discontent for the airline. Industrial action by Spanish staff is also ongoing. The problems come as Ryanair has a management reshuffle. High-profile boss Michael O'Leary is set to become group head. Veteran insider Eddie Wilson takes over as boss of Ryanair itself. And he should find the labour unrest no surprise, as he's been in charge of talks with unions for the past two years. Meanwhile, Ryanair rival Norwegian has asked bondholders for help with its heavy debts. The airline wants to put back the repayment date on its bonds. It's pledging valuable takeoff and landing slots at London Gatwick as security. Norwegian's financial troubles have calmed in recent months. But this year it has been battered by the grounding of its Boeing MAX jets. After a sharp initial dip, Norwegian shares rose as much as five percent Monday on news of its debt plan.
