Ryanair passenger numbers grew 28% to 6.67 million in March.
Meanwhile, load factor increased 10% points to 90% and rolling annual traffic to March grew 11% to 90.5 million.
Chief marketing officer Kenny Jacobs said the jump was due to ‘lower fares, our stronger forward booking strategy and the continuing success of our ‘Always Getting Better’ customer programme, which continues to deliver better than expected load factors on our significantly expanded winter schedule’.
He said the next phase of its programme would include a new website and app, new cabin interiors, new crew uniforms and in-flight menus, reduced airport fees, and great new digital features such as ‘hold the fare’, destination content and fare comparison services.
