The Proof is in the balance sheet.
Ryanair has announced record after-tax profits of €302m for the year to the end of March, an increase of 12% on the previous 12-month period.
The airline also said today that its passenger numbers were up 26% to 35 million during the year, with 46 new routes coming on stream.
Ryanair says its decision not to impose surcharges due to rising fuel costs was the key to its growth over the period.
