Ryanair pays out low-price shares to workers

RYANAIR’s chief executive Michael O’Leary is to take advantage of the company’s low share price to increase workers’ stake in the airline.

Mr O’Leary said that although the European airline industry is enduring difficult times, all Ryanair’s staff are working hard to ensure the company provides the lowest fares and best customer service.

“We expect the very tough trading conditions to continue and be particularly difficult this coming winter. This new scheme reflects the current low share price and allows our people to share in future increases of the share price.
