Ryanair carries more international passengers than any other airline
Independent industry figures confirm that Ryanair carried more international passengers last year than any other airline in the world. IATA figures show that the airline carried 101.4m international passengers last year, well ahead of its nearest pursuer, EasyJet, which had 62.6m customers. Emirates, was in third with 51m and Lufthansa came fourth with just short of 47m. A number of US airlines, including Southwest, whose low-cost model Ryanair used an initial template, carried more passengers, but much of its business was domestic. Southwest carried 119m people last year. Much of its traffic was within the US, although it also serves destinations in Central and South America. A Ryanair spokesman said that the airline expected to fly more than 117m people in 2016. <br/>
