  "account": "Ryanair, Europe's largest airline, has announced that it expects to fly fewer passengers in the fiscal year 2027, with traffic falling from 216 million to 214 million passengers. The reduction in passenger numbers is due to rising fuel prices, which are currently around $140 per ton, up from under $100 prior to the Iran and Hormuz Strait crises. The airline anticipates that the move will cut its losses in the winter season by between €70 million and €100 million. Ryanair has already secured 80% of its fuel for 2027 at $67 per ton, so the company is expecting a profitable year, despite a lower-than-expected result for 2026. The airline also warns that prices for short routes within Europe could \"increase significantly\" if oil prices remain high throughout the summer season of 2027. The upcoming winter season could be tough for airlines that have bought less fuel in advance, and Ryanair expects some of its competitors to struggle to maintain capacity on their routes or \"even survive\" the situation. The airline says it will issue a new update when it releases results for the first half of the year in November. After more than six months of war between the US/Israel and Iran, oil prices have dropped again, with a barrel of Brent crude oil trading at $94.84 on Wednesday morning, about $25 more than when the conflict began in late February.",
