Ryanair cash lift as US snubbed

PROFITS SURGE AFTER JUMP IN FLIGHT FARES

- 

BUDGET airline Ryanair says travellers shunning the States helped power profits to £160 a second.

Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary said some people who would have normally jetted to the US have been deterred by higher transatlantic fares.

“More and more families are staying at home and holidaying in Europe, particularly in the Mediterranean’ he said.
