Ryanair sets new airline record

Sunday, 03 Aug, 2016 0

Ryanair claims it has become the first airline to carry more than 11 million passengers in a single month.

In July, a 12% rise in traffic pushed the airline’s total to 11.3 million passengers.

During the month, it sold 96% of its available seats.

Spokesman Kenny Jacobs said: "These record passenger figures were delivered at lower fares, and thanks to the continuing success of our ‘Always Getting Better’ programme which continues to win new customers and new markets, despite yet more French ATC strikes and continuing post-Brexit market uncertainty.

"Our customers, and in particular families, are flying in even greater numbers this summer, thanks to Ryanair’s lower fares that are already down 10% versus last year."
