LONDON - Ryanair has confirmed that it plans to charge for toilets on its aeroplanes.

The airline's boss, Michael O'Leary, has said that the scheme would be in place within two years.

However, he denied that Ryanair was trying to profit from customers needing a toilet break. The plan aims to discourage passengers from using the toilets onboard, which could then be replaced with additional seating on the aircraft; losing two toilets can create six extra seats.

Ryanair reported its first loss for 20 years yesterday, with profit down £145m for the year to the end of March. However, its passenger numbers continue to rise - up 15% to 58.5m last year.
