  • Growth rate 9pc
  • Rilling annual now 148.2m
  • Now more than 3m ahead of Lufthansa group in passenger numbers 

Ryanair’s growth rate is back at 9pc after the airline reported it carried a record 14.8m passengers in July. the equivalent growth in the twelve months to July 2018 was 4pc.

July is traditionally the airline’s second busiest month of the year so Ryanair have expect to break 15m in August, the sixth airline in history to do so. So far in 2019 Ryanair is ruining 3.1m passengers ahead of the Lufthansa group and 18.7m ahead of IAG and is on course to become Europe’s largest airline. Ryanair’s growth figure was 13pc for May and June 2019, but were boosted by the inclusion of passenger numbers from Lauda, which were not included in the 2018 pre-acquisition figures.
