O'Leary has pushed out the projected date of his retirement from the helm of Europe's biggest budget carrier several times, saying last year it had become a "moveable feast."

"In two or three years' time I expect to be gone out of Ryanair," O'Leary told RTE radio, adding he would like to see the takeover of Irish rival Aer Lingus -- which he has twice tried and failed to achieve -- before he goes.

O'Leary said earlier this month he was planning to pay substantial management bonuses in 2011 when a large capital investment programme approaches its end and possibly also end his policy of not paying any dividends around the same time.
