Profits and traffic are poised for &#8220;very strong growth&#8221; through 2025, assuming oil prices remain relatively stable, O&#8217;Leary added in a video presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/09\/ryanair-announces-new-winter-route-cardiff-faro.html\">Ryanair announces new winter route between Cardiff and Faro.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O&#8217;Leary said the July-September quarter had delivered growth on a scale he had never seen, with 15% traffic growth combined with a fare rise of 14% thanks to the combination of pent-up demand and the post-COVID retrenchment of rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chief Financial Officer Neil Sorahan said Ryanair expects &#8220;significant consolidation and the bankruptcy of some airlines&#8221; in the next three to four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O&#8217;Leary indicated that Ryanair could be left as the only major low-cost airline in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryanair plans to grow from a record 168 million passengers this financial year to 185 million next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, while the airline anticipates delivering 51 737 MAX aircraft by next summer, O&#8217;Leary said he was concerned that Boeing would come up short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s more likely that Boeing will leave us short and we&#8217;ll end up with an additional 40 to 45 aircraft by next summer,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
