Ryanair

In 2026, Ryanair pilots benefit from competitive European short-haul airline salaries, stable roster patterns, productivity-based pay and strong command upgrade opportunities.

Ryanair cabin crew salaries in 2026 consist of a fixed base salary together with sector pay, onboard sales commissions, productivity incentives and additional allowances.

Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has confirmed that flights will not be held for passengers delayed by the European Union’s Entry/Exit System, after an Athens to London Luton service departed without more than 20 travellers stuck at passport control. The airline is pressing European governments to extend current flexibilities as queues continue into the summer peak.
