Ryanair boss warns flights will cost even MORE next summer – here is how to find cheap fares | The Sun

THE boss of low-cost airline Ryanair has warned holidaymakers not to expect cheap flights next summer.

Brits have faced soaring fares due to limited flights this year, after airlines were forced to cancel thousands of their routes due to staff shortages.

While many may have hoped cheap flights would be back by next summer, Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has warned this is unlikely.

He said during the airline's travel conference: "It’s inevitable that fares will go up.

"High oil prices mean they have to go up. There will be pressure on air fares into summer 2023."

Citing the energy crisis, he said it will affect the "whole of Europe this winter".
