Ryanair passenger numbers hit new all-time high in August


Ryanair in August flew a record number of passengers for the fourth month in a row as it continued to consolidate its position as Europe’s largest airline by passenger numbers.

The Irish low-cost carrier, which unlike many airlines made a point of keeping its pilots and crew up-to-date with their flying hours during the pandemic, flew 16.9 million passengers in August compared to a pre-COVID peak of 14.9 million in August 2019.

The average proportion of empty seats per flight were 4%, for the second month in a row compared to 3% in August 2019.
