- Ryanair is considering increasing the bonus for its cabin crew to identify oversized passenger luggage, which is currently €1.50 (£1.30) per instance.
- Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said he expects summer fares to remain similar to 2023 but anticipates a boost in profitability through cost control.
- He said Ryanair planes are usually full, and “that’s one of the reasons we are so aggressive about eliminating the scourge of passengers with excess baggage”.
- Passengers found with luggage exceeding their paid allowance face a charge of up to €75 (£65).
- Mr O’Leary also said he believes a European Parliament proposal for free personal and small hand luggage will not become law due to limited space on aircraft.
