RYANAIR APRIL TRAFFIC GROWS 10% TO 9.9M CUSTOMERS

LOAD FACTOR RISES 2% POINTS TO 93%

Ryanair, Europe's favourite airline, today (4 May) released April traffic statistics as follows:

•     Traffic grew 10% to 9.9m customers.

•     Load factor rose 2% points to 93%.

•     Rolling annual traffic to April grew 17% to 107.4m customers.

Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said:

"Ryanair's April traffic grew by 10% to 9.9m customers, while our load factor jumped 2% points to 93%. These record monthly numbers and load factors were delivered despite more ATC strikes in Belgium, France, Greece and Italy, as lower fares and the continuing success of our "Always Getting Better" customer experience programme continue to deliver even more great value for our customers.

Ryanair customers can look forward to more improvements, as we enter Year 3 of our "Always Getting Better" programme, which includes even lower fares, more new routes, new digital features and new cabin interiors, as Ryanair continues to deliver the lowest fares and the most on time flights in Europe."
