Ryanair CEO: Airlines May Go Bankrupt If Fuel Prices Stay High

Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have led to a sharp increase in jet fuel prices, significantly raising cost pressures on the European aviation sector. Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has warned that many airlines may not be able to sustain operations if fuel prices remain at current levels through the summer months. The rise in fuel costs is forcing airlines to cancel flights and reduce capacity, while signaling an increase in ticket prices across the industry. O'Leary noted that the cost pressure could have a particularly severe impact on low-cost carriers. The European Union has activated an emergency action plan to address a potential supply crisis. The plan aims to resolve disruptions in the fuel supply chain and provide short-term support to airlines. However, industry representatives warn that these measures may not be sufficient. This is not investment advice.

The news headline reflects concerns that high fuel costs could drive airlines into bankruptcy, potentially creating negative expectations for Brent crude demand. Technical indicators also support a bearish trend: the RSI is approaching oversold territory at 39.6, while the MACD is below its signal line and in negative territory. The price is trading below the 20-day moving average (112.93) and has lost 2.96% in the last 24 hours.

📊 WTI — Piyasa Yorumu

WTI crude oil fell 3.5% over the past 24 hours to $101.89. Although the RSI at 37 approaches oversold territory, the MACD line remaining below the signal line and in negative territory suggests short-term pressure may persist. The price trading below both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages further weakens the technical outlook. Ryanair CEO's warning that high fuel costs could drive airlines to bankruptcy may amplify demand concerns, adding downward pressure on oil prices. While a continued bearish trend is expected in the near term, the approach to oversold levels could trigger a potential technical rebound.

The news paints a negative outlook for the airline sector, highlighting the risk of bankruptcy if fuel costs remain high. THYAO shares have already lost 2.35% in the last 24 hours, and while the RSI at 36.8 approaches oversold territory, momentum indicators (MACD) remain negative. Trading below the short-term 20-day and 50-day moving averages confirms a technically weak outlook. Therefore, downward pressure is expected to persist in the short term due to the impact of the news.
