Ryanair reaches record number of passengers in August
Low-cost airline Ryanair carried a record number of passengers for the fourth consecutive month in August, while continuing to consolidate its position as Europe’s largest airline by number of passengers.
Ryanair, which unlike many airlines has struggled to keep its pilots and crew up to date with their flight hours during the pandemic, carried 16.9 million passengers in August compared to 14.9 million in the same month in 2019 ( before the pandemic).
→ Ryanair to add more than 500 flights from London Stansted Airport.
Ryanair operated an average of more than 3,000 daily flights last week, almost double the 1,600 flights of its biggest rival, EasyJet, according to the European air traffic control agency Eurocontrol.
The occupancy level per flight was 96%, for the second consecutive month, compared to 97% in August 2019.
