Stevek - passenger figures.
My post was about finance/yield, not bums on seats. You can easily increase passenger numbers by selling seats for 1p, but that isnt going to help when you are taking delivery of a new aircraft every two weeks and cant fill them at a decent yield.
You are incorrect again.
At least base your facts on something...
Ryanair, Europe‟s largest passenger airline today (July 25 2011) announced a Q1 net profit of €139m a slight increase of 1% on Q1 last year. Revenues grew by 29% to €1,155m as traffic increased 18% and ave. fares rose 11%. Unit costs rose by 14% due to a 49% increase in fuel costs. Excluding fuel, sector length adjusted unit costs fell by 1%.
Half year results will no be avaialabe till Nov. 7.
