Ryanair boss warns as many as 900 jobs could be at risk

epaselect epa06909506 Ryanair airplanes stand idle on the tarmac during the first day of strike of the company's cabin crews at Brussels South airport, in Charleroi, Belgium, 25 July 2018. The strike is expected to affect some 23,500 passengers to and from Belgium: about 16,500 in Charleroi and more than 7,000 in Brussels Airport. Ryanair cabin crews demand better wages and working conditions. Media reports say that the airline had cancelled some 600 flights on the two days with up to 100,000 passengers having to find alternative routes or accept a refunding. EPA-EFE/STEPHANIE LECOCQ

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has warned staff to prepare for job cuts in the coming weeks, saying the airline has 900 too many pilots and cabin crew.

In a video message to workers, he said redundancies would be announced by the end of August, although he did not put an exact number on the losses.

He blamed planned cuts to flights next summer due to the grounding of its Boeing 737 Max fleet.

He also cited falling profits, higher oil prices and Brexit uncertainty.
