DUBLIN, May 14 (Reuters) - Ryanair's RYA.I profits may come under "a bit of pressure" in its fiscal year to the end of March 2027 if oil prices remain high, group chief executive Michael O'Leary said on Thursday.

"We're about to report multi-billions of profit next Monday (for the year to end-March 2026). Our profits may well be under a bit of pressure for the next 12 months if oil prices remain high for longer," O'Leary told a news conference at the airline's headquarters in Dublin.
