EasyJet saw a 16.5% rise in passengers to 2.7 million in September over the same month last year.
The airline’s load factor declined marginally from 86.9% to 86.4% in the month.
Total revenue in the 12 months to September was £1,342 million, up from £1,091 million the previous year with passengers up 21% to 29.5 million.
Chief executive Ray Webster said: “September passenger growth was in line with expectations.
“On top of double digit volume growth, unit revenue (total revenue per seat flown) for the full year has increased by 2.1% vs. last year. We re-iterate our guidance from August: that we expect reported pre-tax profit for the year ended September 2005 to be broadly in line with last year.”
