Ryanair carries 7m more passengers

 

 
 
Ryanair saw passenger carryings rise by more than seven million to over 65 million in 2009.
 
The 13% growth by the no-frills airline giant included five million passengers flown in December, a 12% rise on the same month in 2008.
 
The carrier set a new monthly record last July when it carried more than six million passengers for the first time, a record which it repeated every month from July to October. 
 
August became Ryanair’s busiest month ever when over 6.9 million passengers travelled.
 
The airline has released one million seats at €8 for travel on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in late January and February, which are available for booking until midnight Sunday.
 
A spokesman said:"Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharges and our number one on time performance, fewest lost bags and least cancelled flights continue to attract more and more passengers every year."
