Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline, today (3 July) announced that its June traffic increased by 13% to 5.8 million passengers, a new monthly record, smashing the 5.7 million passenger record set in August 2008. Ryanair also carried over 60 MILLION passengers in the 12 months to the end of June – a new annual traffic record.
Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said: “Ryanair’s growth of 13% to 5.8 million passengers for June and 60 million passengers for the 12 month period, establish new records for Europe’s largest airline. Ryanair is now on course to carry 67 million passengers in our full year”. Ryanair welcomes OFT announcement on ASA referral Ryanair welcomes today’s OFT announcement which concluded this referral. We were happy to make the minor adjustments recommended by the OFT to improve our website and advertising. Ryanair is pleased with the OFT’s conclusion of this case which confirms Ryanair’s belief that there was no substance to the ASA’s original referral, and we welcome the fact that the OFT has dismissed the ASA’s request ‘to consider taking action against the budget airline Ryanair.
