LONDON (Alliance News) - Ryanair Holdings PLC on Wednesday said its customer numbers and load factor both improved significantly year-on-year in February.
The Irish low-cost carrier said it carried 5.8 million customers in February, up 29% from the 4.5 million it carried a year earlier.
It added its load factor improved significantly up 11 percentage points to 89% from 78% in February last year.
"Ryanair traffic grew by 29% to 5.8 million customers in February, while our load factor rose by 11 percentage points to 89%, thanks to our lower fares, our stronger forward booking strategy and the continuing success of our "Always Getting Better" customer programme, which continues to deliver better than expected load factors on our significantly expanded winter schedule," said Ryanair Chief Marketing Officer Kenny Jacobs.
