Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary spoke with Bloomberg in a new video interview about the budget airline's cost pressures, fuel prices and the outlook for ticket prices, according to Bloomberg Markets.

The discussion comes as airlines across the industry continue to navigate volatile fuel costs and operating expenses that have squeezed margins in recent years. O'Leary, known for his blunt commentary on the state of European aviation, used the interview to weigh in on where fares may be headed next, Bloomberg reported.

Ryanair has long positioned itself as Europe's low-cost carrier of choice, and any signal from its leadership about pricing tends to ripple through the wider travel industry. Further specifics from the interview were not detailed in the available excerpt.
