Ryanair says summer bookings remain strong, fares holding up

By Fatos Bytyci

TIRANA, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Ryanair RYA.I is seeing very strong demand across Europe and is "reasonably optimistic" of hitting its summer targets, Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said in an interview on Thursday.

He also praised Boeing BA.N for agreeing to deliver some jets earlier than scheduled, ending run of delays that have curbed the airline's growth rate.

"We're seeing strong bookings through the peak summer months ... The fares are holding up," O'Leary said, adding that bookings were about 1% ahead of where they were at the same point last year.
