RYANAIR yesterday positioned itself as a “green” airline as it pledged to ramp up its flight numbers and kicked off a price war with rivals such as BA.
The cut-price airline made a loss of €96 million (£80 million) for the three months to December. While that was far better than the €321 million deficit for the same period a year ago, it was still worse than Ryanair had hoped.
