EUROCONTROL Aviation StraightTalk Live: Under the hood with Ryanair

EUROCONTROL Aviation StraightTalk Live, our flagship business briefing, gives you the latest views from aviation’s key players.

Get “Under the hood” of Europe’s biggest airline with top Ryanair execs
What’s keeping Ryanair’s leadership team up at night as Europe’s biggest, busiest airline looks to the future?
EUROCONTROL’s flagship Aviation StraightTalk returns with an in-depth debate putting Ryanair’s Group CEO Michael O’Leary, airline CEO Eddie Wilson, and Director of Ops Neal McMahon in the spotlight.

It’ll be a timely moment to take stock on what’s next for an airline that continues to defy industry norms, hot on the heels of a record-busting summer - up to 16M passengers flown a month, 500K+ on busy days with an astonishing 3K+ flights a day during peak-summer. For much of the year, Ryanair has flown every day around twice as much as the 2 next largest European airlines combined, flying consistently over 10% more passengers and flights than it did pre-pandemic.

That’s an astonishing COVID recovery story which has seen Ryanair recently post its highest ever half-year profit of €1.37BN – with the airline already bullish about the future and betting on a record summer 2023.

Industry insider Andrew Charlton, Aviation Advocacy MD, will be asking the tough questions on strategy, pricing, sustainability, fleet renewal, strikes, economic pressures and market consolidation.
