Ryanair's profit growth but will be challenged by austerity.

Monday, 21 May 2012
Ryanair (RYA.I), Europe's biggest budget airline, warned high fuel costs and a worsening economic outlook in Europe meant profit would slip by up to 20 percent in the coming year, the first fall in four years reports Reuters.

The Dublin-based airline, famous for its no-frills service, posted a record annual profit on higher fares for the year to March, but warned its run of growth of at least 25 percent profit every year since 2009 was likely to come to an end. Is there anything SAS, the Scandinavian flag ship carrier learn from Ryanair?
