  • News: Ryanair traffic falls in February

    Low cost carrier Ryanair has released passenger and cargo factor stats for February 2013, wherein its adjusted monthly traffic fell – as previously guided – by 3% over the identical period during previous year as Ryanair grounded as much as 80 aircraft.

    The carrier also claimed the intercalary year in February 2012 accounted for another 3% drop in traffic.

    Ryanair’s Robin Kiely said: “As previously guided, Ryanair’s adjusted February 2013 traffic fell by 3% over February 2012 as we grounded as much as 80 aircraft.

    “The bissextile year of February 2012 had 29 days and accounted for a different 3% drop. However, Ryanair’s load factor increased by 1% and we delivered another record 12-month traffic as almost 80m passengers chose one in every of Ryanair’s ultra-low fares since February 2012.” Added Kiely.
