"Ryanair Anticipates Summer Fare Increase Amid Plane Shortage"

Ryanair's chief executive, Michael O'Leary, has warned of higher ticket prices this summer due to delayed delivery of Boeing planes, which will constrain passenger capacity. The airline expects up to 10% fare increases, with only 40-45 of the 57 ordered Boeing 737 Max 8200's likely to arrive in time.
