Almost a €1 billion was wiped off the value of Ryanair[/URL] shares this morning after the airline issued a surprise profit warning, citing a slump in bookings as a result of this summer’s heatwave in northern [URL=‘http://www.irishtimes.com/search/search-7.1213540?tag_location=Europe&article=true’]Europe.
The airline said its full- year profit would be at the lower end of its forecast range of €570 million to €600 million.
This sent shares tumbling by 14 per cent or 94 cents to €5.82, their biggest fall in more than two years.
The carrier said full-year profit may be lower than forecast after a heatwave across Europe trimmed bookings.
“If yields, a measure of fare prices, continue to weaken, profit may end up at or slightly below the lower end of this range,” it said.
“In recent weeks we have noticed a perceptible dip in forward fares and yields into September, October and November,” chief executive Michael O’Leary said, which had been impacted by increased price competition and increased capacity in the UK, Scandinavia, Spain and Ireland.
He said weak economic conditions in Europe and a weaker sterling were also having an impact.
“This is a surprise statement from Ryanair and comes contrary to some of the commentary from the peer group and indeed Ryanair’s own commentary at its June investor days,” said Donal O’Neill, analyst with Goodbody stockbrokers. “The stock and sector will likely sell off heavily on the back of this news.”
Ryanair will respond to weak forward bookings by cutting its capacity for the year to 81 million seats from 81.5 and by introducing “aggressive seat sales” particularly in the UK, Scandinavia, Spain and Ireland, the airline said.

This sounds like good news for savvy consumers like you and me @Horsebox.
Time to buy Ryanair lads and hold them for a few years.
Only €570m full year profit? They are proper fucked.
Balbec knows the score.
The ballsy guys are hoovering up Ryanair shares.
Looks like Denise has taken over from O’Leary in the Boardroom. He seems to be much more marginalised of late and the new changes announced below represent a serious row-back on some of O’Leary’s policies. He’ll be gone from there by the end of next year.
Ryanair has announced a programme of customer service improvements, which include a reduced boarding card reissue fee and quiet flights early in the morning and late at night.
In a statement, the airline said six enhancements would be made over the next six months in response to customer feedback.
The airline had asked customers to submit improvements and Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O’Leary had appeared on RTÉ’s Prime Time flagging the new approach.
The “Recaptcha” security code, which appears on the booking page, will be removed from the website from next week.
Also from next week, customers who book directly on the airline’s website will be given a 24-hour grace period to correct any minor errors.
Ryanair is to operate quiet flights prior to 8am and after 9am.
During these flight periods, no announcements will be made on board other than required safety announcements. Ryanair will also dim the lights during these quiet flights.
From December, Ryanair will allow passengers to bring a second small carry-on bag, no bigger than 35cm by 20cm by 20cm, which will allow a bottle of wine or equivalent to be carried.
December will also see the boarding card reissue fee cut from €70 to €15 for customers who have already checked in online.
However, customers who fail to check-in online will continue to pay a €70 airport check-in fee.
From the beginning of next year, standard airport bag fees will be cut from €60 to €30 at the bag drop-in desk and from €60 to €50 at the boarding gate.
O’Leary will be spending more time going horse racing I’d say 
Ryanair has announced a plan to introduce allocated seating from 1 February next year which will allow passengers to select seats on aircraft, as long as they check-in more than 24 hours prior to the date of departure.
The airline said the move will make “the boarding process smoother” and enable “families or other groups to ensure that they sit together”.
It added that the return to allocated seating was in response to enormous demand and was “part of the airline’s commitment to listen to its customers”.
In recent weeks the carrier has also introduced measures such as allowing a small second carry-on bag and a 24 hour “grace period” to allow passengers to correct minor booking errors.

Because Horsebox flagged that a month ago.
This is a new profit warning, projecting worse results than the previous projections.
