Ryanair profits nosedive

(02:01) Report

Jul 28 - Profits in Europe's biggest discount airline Ryanair have plunged by 85% in the first quarter.

The airline blames record fuel costs, a situation compounded by a slowdown in consumer spending.

Ryanair saw a near doubling in its fuel bill in the three months to June 30, having resisted hedging against fuel price hikes, unlike many of its peers.
