LONDON (Alliance News) - Irish low-cost airline Ryanair Holdings PLC said Thursday its December-month traffic grew 4% to over 5.0 million passengers, up from the 4.8 million passengers last year, a record for the month.
While traffic increased 2% on a year-on-year basis, passenger traffic was down on the 5.2 million passengers that the firm reported it flew in November.
Ryanair's Robin Kiely said, "Ryanair carried a new record of over 5 million customers in December, thanks to the success of our lower fares, easier to use website and customer service improvements. Further service improvements are due to be rolled out over the coming weeks and months as Ryanair continues to lower prices..."
During December 2013, load factor remained unchanged from last year at 81%.
Shares in the airline were trading up 1.12% at 6.32 pence per share Thursday afternoon.
