Demand for Ryanair flights remains strong across several popular destinations, including Morocco, Italy, Greece, Spain, the Balearic Islands, and the Canary Islands. The airline’s CEO, Michael O’Leary, emphasized this in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday.
O’Leary pointed out that summer bookings are holding up well, with no signs of slowing down despite the intense heatwaves sweeping across Europe. Ticket prices are climbing, and Ryanair is counting on a solid rebound after last year’s dip in fares, which had been dragged down by rising interest rates that weakened demand. The airline expects to recover much of the 7% average fare decline it experienced over the past year.
Morocco, along with Spain, Greece, and Italy, remains a key growth market for Ryanair. O’Leary highlighted the enduring appeal of these destinations for European travelers, indicating that interest shows no sign of fading.
In Morocco in particular, Ryanair has set its sights high. The airline plans to double its passenger numbers there and aims to carry as many as 30 million travelers to and from the country by 2030—a clear sign of its long-term commitment to expanding its presence in the region.
