Ryanair shares fell on Monday after the company said its quarterly profit after tax had fallen 46% and fares will be lower than expected in the summer months. Ryanair cited weaker-than-anticipated fares and the Easter season falling into the previous quarter as reasons for the drop in profit. It also comes despite a 10% increase in passenger traffic to 55.5 million during the quarter, Ryanair said Monday. However, Ryanair Group CEO Michael O'Leary said in a statement that fares were expected to be lower than expected over the next three months. Other European airlines followed Ryanair lower on Monday, with fellow low-cost airline EasyJet shedding over 6%, while Jet2 fell 4% and Hungarian airline Wizz Air slid over 6%.

☆ Could 'carbon passports' that limit how much we travel be in our future?

A recent report on the future of travel includes the concept of a "carbon passport." One tour company is proposing a solution: a "carbon passport" that would limit how much carbon travelers could emit each year. "Carbon passports have taken that idea one step further" because they would involve tracking and limiting travel carbon emissions, specifically, Hawkins added. In reality, a carbon passport would be challenging to implementHawkins and Matt Berna, the president of Intrepid in the Americas, said they didn't see a carbon passport as a quick fix, though. To track your flight's carbon emissions, Berna suggests booking through Google Flights, which has included emissions levels since 2021.

"Whenever we come up against Wizz, we tend to have significantly lower fares and have much lower costs," he said. As an example of the strategy, he cited Albania, where Ryanair plans to open 25 new routes this winter to take on Wizz (WIZZ.L) in its eastern European heartland. According to data analysis firm IBA, low-cost carriers have over 59% of the aviation market in Poland, up from 31% in 2021. He added that Buzz and Ryanair were mainly focused on regional airports, like Modlin outside Warsaw or Katowice near Krakow.
