Ryanair suffers heaviest traffic fall in January since crisis peak
Traffic figures from Ryanair, Europe’s biggest carrier by passenger numbers and the first in the region to report data for January, illustrate the extent to which heightened travel restrictions have further hit demand. Ryanair reported 1.3m passengers in January, compared with the 10.8m it carried in the same month last year. It marks a fall of 88%, the highest decline in passengers it has reported since last June, when its operations during the first peak of the pandemic were at a near standstill. The figure is down on the 1.9m passengers it handled in December, which was a fall of 83%, reflecting the further tightening of travel restrictions and lockdowns in several key markets. The carrier operated just 15% of its planned January schedule. Passenger load factor was down at 69% for the month. <br/>
