Ryanair is seeing solid demand in the European market, with bookings up 1% on last year, and is planning expansion in Albania and Sweden.

Ryanair has announced that travel bookings are around 1% higher compared to the same period in 2023, keeping fares at a high level. The company expects to recover last year's 7% drop in fares. Chief executive Michael O'Leary welcomed the accelerated deliveries of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, which will support growth plans. Ryanair will double capacity in the Albanian market and increase capacity in Sweden by 25%, intensifying competition with rival airlines.
