July 6, 2009

Ryanair today (6th July) announced that it carried twice the worldwide traffic of British Airways in June as 5.8million passengers travelled on Ryanair (up 13%) while BA carried just 2.9 million passenger (down 5%) in June. Ryanair celebrated its continued dominance over BA by releasing 1 Million €4 seats for travel in late August, September and October which are available at www.ryanair.com until midnight Thursday (9th July). Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said: “Ryanair continues to grow traffic each month as passengers opt for Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharge over BA’s high fares and unjustified fuel surcharges. Ryanair’s passenger traffic grew by 13% in June to 5.8 million while BA’s traffic fell by 5% to 2.9 million. Ryanair now carries twice BA’s monthly worldwide traffic and we will continue to grow as Ryanair continues to lower fares. Ryanair celebrates our continued dominance over the former World’s favourite airline by releasing 1 Million €4 seats for travel in late August, September and October which are available at www.ryanair.com until midnight Thursday (9th July).”
