France, where Ryanair serves cities such as Marseille and Bordeaux, has floated proposals for a minimum ticket price in an effort to reduce pollution from aviation. The French price proposal, which EU officials said has drawn some support from the Netherlands and Belgium, got short shrift from senior Ryanair executive Eddie Wilson. Having established a strong position in large parts of Western Europe, Ryanair is now looking east to countries such as Poland for further growth. Europe's main airlines lobby group expressed relief and called on more European coordination to support the sector. Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr has said a stronger ITA will reinvigorate competition in the Italian market but Ryanair's Wilson is unperturbed, describing ITA as a sideshow.

Ryanair said on Wednesday that internal Italian flights to Sicily would be cut by 10% in its latest winter schedule, blaming the government's planned price cap. Eddie Wilson, the chief executive of Ryanair DAC, the biggest airline in the Ryanair group, said the airline opposed the measure despite the modification. During a visit to Sicily, Wilson contrasted Ryanair's expansion of foreign flights to and from the island with the reduction on domestic routes. "Italian domestic growth has sadly been negatively impacted by the Italian government's unlawful price cap decree to restrict airlines’ freedom to set low air fares," Wilson said in a statement. Ryanair has already reduced its domestic schedule for flights to Sardinia over the winter.

DUBLIN, April 17 (Reuters) - Ryanair (RYA.I) does not expect to see major disruption this summer on account of Boeing's (BA.N) decision to halt deliveries of 737 MAX jets over quality issues, a senior executive told Irish broadcaster RTE on Monday. The Irish airline in a statement on Friday said it was assessing with Boeing how the issue, related to certain components made by one of the U.S. firm's main suppliers, would impact the 24 737 aircraft which are scheduled for delivery in the remainder of April, May and June. "We don’t anticipate any major disruption this summer," Eddie Wilson, the head the largest airline in the Ryanair Group, Ryanair DAC, told RTE television.

Economist Julian Jessop warned on Wednesday that Britain's economy could end up in a "doom loop" of a falling currency and rising interest rates. "That's not anything that's on the horizon, but we always have the ability to do that," he said. Unlike UK rivals, much of Ryanair's income is denominated in euros and the airline has hedged much of its dollar exposure for aircraft and fuel purchases, Wilson said.
