BRUSSELS, May 7 (Reuters) - Ticket fare prices this

summer are likely going to be lower than previously expected,

Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O'Leary told reporters in

Brussels on Tuesday.

"Looking at summer ... We thought pricing would be up 5-10%.

We're heading to flat (pricing year-on-year) to 5% up, which is

surprising with a lot of the Airbus fleet grounded for

maintenance," he said.
