RYANAIR OCT TRAFFIC GROWS 15% TO 9.68M CUSTOMERS

LOAD FACTOR RISES 5% POINTS TO 94%

Ryanair, Europe's favourite airline, today (4 Nov) released traffic statistics for October as follows:

• Traffic grew 15% to 9.68m customers.

• Load factor rose 5% points to 94%.

• Rolling annual traffic to Oct grew 17% to 98.6m customers.

Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said:

"Ryanair's October traffic grew by 15% to 9.68m customers, while our load factor jumped 5% points to 94%. These record monthly numbers and load factors are due to our lower fares, our stronger forward bookings and the continuing success of our "Always Getting Better" customer experience programme, which continues to deliver stronger than expected traffic and load factors.

Ryanair customers can now look forward to more service enhancements, as we continue Year 2 of our AGB programme, which includes our new car hire service, a new website, new app, new cabin interiors, new crew uniforms, and improved inflight menus, as Ryanair continues to deliver so much more than just the lowest fares in Europe."
