TRADING UPDATE 

 

RYANAIR RAISES FULL YEAR PROFIT GUIDANCE

TO NOT LESS THAN €310M AFTER TAX.

 

Ryanair, the world's favourite airline, today (1 April 2010) announced that it was raising its profit after tax guidance for the year ended 31 March 2010 from a previously guided €275m, to not less than €310m, as a result of somewhat stronger than expected passenger bookings, at better than expected yields, during late February and March in the run up to the Easter holiday weekend.

 

Ryanair expects to announce its full year results on Tuesday, 1 June 2010.
