Budget airline Ryanair has reported record profits as fare rises helped to offset a sharp rise in fuel costs.

Net profit for the year to March was 503m euros ($643m; £406m), up 25% on a year earlier. Revenue rose by 19% to 4.3bn euros.

The airline said traffic grew by 5% while fares rose by 16% on average, which helped to overcome a 30% rise in fuel costs.

It also criticised the UK government's decision to raise air passenger duty.
