Ryanair announced that it carried 5.23 million passengers in Sep-08, a 20% increase over Sep-07. Ryanair carried just over 56 million passengers in the year to Sep-07.
Stephen McNamara, Head of Communications, said: “Having achieved record passenger numbers throughout the summer we showed no sign of slowdown in September with 5.23million passengers taking advantage of Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharge. A lot of price sensitive leisure passengers have switched from rival, high fares airlines, to Ryanair. However, in light of the current crisis in banking and financial institutions we are confident that we will soon seen more bankers migrate to Ryanair also. Tougher economic times will see these bankers tighten the purse strings and save time and money by taking advantage of our guaranteed lowest fares and our unrivalled punctuality.”
