Ryanair considers pay freezes and reducing crew on flights as fuel costs soar

Ryanair is considering several cost-cutting measures to offset the impact of soaring fuel costs due to the Middle East conflict. The airline is looking at implementing pay freezes, reducing the number of crew on flights, and increasing the use of artificial intelligence. These measures are aimed at reducing costs as Ryanair anticipates a significant increase in jet fuel costs, which could lead to higher ticket prices for European airlines. This could have a ripple effect on the economy, particularly for consumers who rely on affordable air travel.
