Ryanair has reported record August passenger numbers and the highest load factors since August 2002.
The airline said the launch of its new family and business products had ‘contributed significantly’ to the climb.
Load factors for August were up from 89% in 2013 to 93% this year, while August passenger numbers were up from 9 million to 9.4 million. The highest load factor ever recorded was 95% in August 2002.
Chief marketing officer Kenny Jacobs said the rise was also down to ‘our improving customer experience, including our great new website and mobile app, allocated seating, a free second small carry-on bag and PED use on all flights’.
"The launch of our new family and business products have been extremely successful and have contributed significantly to these highest ever load factors in Ryanair’s history," he added.
