Ryanair passenger traffic up 9% year on year in April

Traffic at Ryanair increased by 9% in April compared with the same month last year, according to its latest report on passenger numbers. The number of customers who travelled with the airline grew to 12.3m, compared with 11.3m in April last year. Load factor was unchanged at 96%. Rolling annual traffic to April grew 8% to 131.4m customers. Ryanair CMO Kenny Jacobs said the airline would seek to roll out more “always getting better” improvements – a reference to the airline’s latest marketing strategy. The airline recently exercised options to buy 25 Boeing 737 MAX 200 aircraft, in a move which will bring its total firm orders for the aircraft up to 135 and allow it to grow its traffic to 200m customers a year by 2024. The order means Ryanair has now ordered more than 650 Boeing 737s since 1994. <br/>
