Ryanair flew 200.2m passengers in its fiscal year to the end of March, largely as forecast, making it the first European airline to carry 200m passengers in one year. Ryanair said at the end of January that it expected its annual traffic to reach almost 200m, up 9% year-on-year. It flew 15m passengers in March, 10% more than a year ago, Ryanair said on Wednesday. The airline, Europe's largest by passenger numbers, cut its forecast for the coming year for the second time in three months in January to 206m passengers from 210m due to Boeing aircraft delivery delays.<br/>

El Al, Israel's national airline, will resume regular Tel Aviv-Moscow flights starting May 1, Israel's Ministry of Tourism said. Flights will operate seven times a week: once daily from Monday to Wednesday and twice daily on Thursdays and Sundays. In Moscow, flights will be handled by Domodedovo Airport. The flights will be operated using Boeing 737-900 aircraft, which can accommodate up to 175 passengers. The travel time is approximately five hours. El Al suspended flights to Moscow in late December, citing "events in Russian airspace." The company referred to the crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) aircraft in Kazakhstan. The crash occurred on December 25, 2024, resulting in the deaths of 38 of the 67 people on board.<br/>
