Ryanair AGM narrowly approves bonus plan for CEO O'Leary

• Ryanair shareholders narrowly approved a bonus scheme for Chief Executive Michael O'Leary on Thursday that could earn him around 100 million euros ($111 million) over five years.
• O'Leary in February said he would stay for another five years at Europe's largest low-cost airline, whose share price has roughly halved over the past two years amid a series of disputes with unions and delays to the delivery of the grounded Boeing 737 MAX.

DUBLIN: Ryanair shareholders narrowly approved a bonus scheme for Chief Executive Michael O'Leary on Thursday that could earn him around 100 million euros ($111 million) over five years.
