Ryanair hits headwinds in 2018, but is still well placed to grow
The new year will mark Michael O’Leary’s 25th anniversary as CE of Ryanair. It’s been a transformational period during which he has led the company from struggling upstart to Europe’s biggest airline, flying some 135m people a year around the continent. His 5-year contract with the company ends in 2019. O’Leary said 3 months ago that he still enjoyed the job, and wanted to stay on as over the next 5 years Ryanair takes delivery of 200 Boeing 737 Max-8 200s, a slightly larger craft the airline helped design, which will expand its fleet to 520 and could bring passenger numbers closer to 200m. However, some are looking to a time when O’Leary will no longer lead the airline. <br/>
