Ryanair's Chief Marketing Officer, Kenny Jacobs said
"Ryanair traffic grew by 400,000 to a record 9.4m customers in August, thanks to our lower fares and our improving customer experience, including our great new website and mobile app, allocated seating, a free 2nd small carry-on bag and PED use on all flights. The launch of our new family and business products have been extremely successful and have contributed significantly to these highest ever load factors in Ryanair's history."
Editor's note: Ryanair's 9.4m passengers in August is almost as many as Aer Lingus's
total passengers carried (9.6m) in the full year 2013.
