Gerald Khoo's questions to Ryanair Holdings PLC (RYAAY) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Gerald Khoo of Liberum asked if the financial cost of ATC delays could be quantified and inquired about the scope for extending more A320 leases for the Lauda fleet.
Answer
CEO Michael O'Leary stated it is impossible to quantify the total cost of ATC delays but expects a modest increase in EU261 compensation costs due to poor on-time performance. Regarding leases, he confirmed extending three Lauda A320s at favorable rates but is not generally inclined to extend more, preferring to own aircraft and replace the older fleet with new deliveries.
