De bezuinigingen zullen zowel de interne bedrijfsvoering als de passagiers raken. De Ierse budgetluchtvaartmaatschappij is van plan om hogere tarieven in te voeren, de lonen tijdelijk te bevriezen, minder cabinepersoneel per vlucht in te zetten en meer gebruik te maken van AI bij de backoffice-activiteiten.<\/p>\n<p>De werknemers zullen moeite hebben om deze maatregelen te accepteren, omdat Ryanair, dat al een recordjaar achter de rug heeft, opnieuw miljardenwinsten boekt. De winst na belastingen over de eerste helft van het lopende boekjaar, van april tot en met september 2026, bedroeg in totaal 2,15 miljard euro.<\/p>\n<h4>Hoge prijzen voor vliegtuigbrandstof<\/h4>\n<p>Ryanair heeft al een deel van zijn winterdienstregeling ingekort om de hoeveelheid vliegtuigbrandstof die het zonder afdekking moet inkopen te verminderen. Toch liggen er nieuwe, drastischere plannen op tafel om snel een oplossing te vinden voor de hoge vliegtuigbrandstofprijzen als gevolg van de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten, mocht er geen snelle oplossing komen.<\/p>\n<p>Luchtvaartmaatschappijen zijn momenteel immers nog gedeeltelijk beschermd tegen prijsstijgingen, maar die gunstige contracten lopen af v\u00f3\u00f3r het cruciale zomerseizoen.<\/p>\n<p>CEO O\u2019Leary verwacht ook dat de Europese ticketprijzen volgend jaar met 10 tot 20% zullen stijgen en spreekt van een \u201ckostenafgrond\u201d. Maar zelfs die hogere tarieven zullen de brandstofkosten in het komende boekjaar niet volledig compenseren, aangezien die kosten met 2 miljard euro zouden kunnen stijgen. Dat komt doordat de hedgingovereenkomst voor 80% van de brandstof tegen ongeveer $67 per vat op het punt staat te verlopen, terwijl de marktprijs momenteel rond de $140 per vat ligt.<\/p>\n<h4>Van tijdelijke loonbevriezingen tot een toenemend gebruik van AI<\/h4>\n<p>Als gevolg hiervan neemt Ryanair alle kosten onder de loep, en zijn tijdelijke loonbevriezingen, een intensiever gebruik van AI in de administratieve processen en een kleinere bemanning aan boord van vluchten allemaal mogelijkheden \u2013 volgens de EU-regels is over het algemeen ten minste \u00e9\u00e9n cabinepersoneelslid per 50 ge\u00efnstalleerde passagiersstoelen vereist, naar boven afgerond, of een hoger aantal indien de certificering van het vliegtuig dit vereist.<\/p>\n<p>Ryanair herziet momenteel ook zijn overeenkomsten met luchthavens. Dit sluit aan bij de gangbare praktijk van de luchtvaartmaatschappij om druk uit te oefenen op luchthavens om de kosten te verlagen, en het zou bepalend kunnen zijn voor de luchthavens waar de luchtvaartmaatschappij volgend jaar vluchten zal schrappen of toevoegen.<\/p>\n<p>De luchtvaartmaatschappij verlaagt ook haar prognose voor de passagiersgroei, wat logisch is gezien de beperkte winterdienstregeling: de groei wordt nu geraamd op 3%, waarmee het totaal uitkomt op 214 miljoen, een daling ten opzichte van de eerder voorspelde stijging van 4% naar 216 miljoen.<\/p>\n<h4>Nog steeds miljarden winst<\/h4>\n<p>Voor reizigers zal er deze winter weinig veranderen, juist omdat de brandstofkosten nog steeds zijn afgedekt. De ticketprijzen lagen zelfs 4% lager, omdat Ryanair gedwongen was ze te verlagen om de verkoop te stimuleren, aangezien reizigers terughoudend waren om te boeken.<\/p>\n<p>In de eerste helft van het lopende boekjaar, dat in april begint, vervoerde Ryanair 125,8 miljoen passagiers, een stijging van 6%. Omdat de hogere brandstofkosten en de lagere brandstofprijzen echter zwaarder wogen dan de groei van het aantal passagiers, daalde de winst over de eerste helft van dit boekjaar.<\/p>\n<p>Hoewel de omzet met 3% steeg tot 10,08 miljard euro, schoten de bedrijfskosten met 10% omhoog tot 7,69 miljard euro, wat resulteerde in een nettowinst van 2,15 miljard euro. Dat is 15% minder dan een jaar geleden.<\/p>\n<p>Ryanair, dat doorgaans tussen november en maart verlies lijdt, verwacht dit boekjaar ook winst te maken. Die winst zal echter lager uitvallen dan vorig boekjaar \u2013 een recordjaar met een nettowinst van meer dan 2 miljard euro.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ryanair has announced a cost-cutting plan to offset high jet fuel prices.
