Passenger numbers at Ryanair rose by 12 percent to 9.55 million in September, compared to the same month a year earlier, according to new figures published today.
Passenger numbers were down compared to August but were up from 8.49 million in September 2014.
Load factor – a measure of how full the flights are – was up 4 percent to 94 per cent.
Ryanair said the record monthly numbers and load factors were due to lower fares, stronger forward bookings and the continuing success of the new customer experience programme.
Ryanair’s annual traffic for the first nine months of the year rose by 16 per cent to 97.3 million.
The airline hit a new milestone in July of this year when it carried more than 10 million passengers in a month for the first time.
