Ryanair profits drop 25% in 1 year

Ryanair have announced that they have had a huge 25% profit drop within one year.

The low cost airline has said that it is due to mainly the increased cost of aviation fuel from the high oil prices, the weak pound and general slow economy.

The chief executive Mr Michael O'Leary admits that he can also see no improvement for the next 2 years.

Speaking on the BBC he said that the airline industry was heading for 'the perfect storm' due to the rising fuel prices and recession.  Mr O'Leary also blasted the new security rules at airports, "Lipstick is now the new weapon of mass destruction", he said.
