font-size: 16px;\">Ryanair said that the phased installation of vending machines will allow it to reduce its cabin crew teams onboard from four to two who will perform safety announcements and ensures passenger seatbelts are securely fastened.\u00a0 The substantial savings which this initiative will generate will then be passed on to the travelling public in the form of lower fares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;
