LONDON (Alliance News) - Ryanair Holdings PLC on Tuesday said its traffic increased year-on-year in March and said its load factor rose by 10 percentage points.
The Irish budget carrier said its traffic increased to 6.67 million customers in March, up 28% from the 5.2 million customers it carried a year earlier. The company said its rolling annual traffic to March grew 11% to 90.5 million.
Ryanair said its load factor also improved significantly in the month year-on-year, up to 90% from 80% a year ago.
"Ryanair's March traffic grew by 28% to 6.67m customers, while our load factor jumped by 10% points to 90%, 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.
