He said everyone on board will be asked to wear face masks, passengers will be asked to check fewer bags, and a ban on queuing to go to the bathroom will be imposed.
He had previously said he would not restart flights if his planes were required to be emptier to meet social distancing guidelines.
The video shot on Saturday afternoon shows a packed Ryanair plane as it prepared to depart Stansted for Lisbon.
Experts recommend keeping a distance of two meters between people to minimize the risk of virus transmission.
The woman is heard filming saying, “Ryanair has been so eager to earn as much money as possible that they filled the entire flight.”
“There is no social distancing at all. Not at all.”
Many of the passengers in the video wear masks, but a caption in the clip stated that attendees did not.
Appearing this morning on Good Morning Britain, Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said: “[From July 1] We will fly around 1,000 flights a day and take hundreds of thousands of British families abroad to Spain, France and Portugal, which are reopening faster than the UK.
“It will be reasonably easy, but it will be unusual in that you will have to undergo temperature control upon entering the airport, and you will wear face masks throughout the journey.
“Other than that, you won’t see much difference.”
Flights that have already resumed in other parts of Europe have seen discussions among passengers about social distancing.
When asked if he was concerned that air conditioning systems in planes could help the virus spread on board, he said: “The plane has hospital-level air conditioning filters. The same ones used in operating rooms.”
“The other critical difference in the future is that both passengers and cabin crew on board the plane will wear masks.”
The video comes as the UK prepares to begin easing its blockade measures.
