Aer Lingus Source from RTE news
"Aer Lingus carried 23,000 more passengers last month than in May 2011 according to its latest statistics
The passenger load factor increased by 2.9 points on May 2011 to 76.2%.
The main factor was an increase of 22,000 in passenger numbers for the Aer Lingus regional service. Those are routes such as Waterford to Manchester and Dublin to the Isle Of Man which used to be operated by Aer Arann but which Aer Lingus now runs on foot of an agreement between the two airlines.
Elsewhere, short haul traffic for Aer Lingus, routes into and out of the UK and Europe, fell slightly and long haul traffic - routes outside of Europe - rose but from a low base.
The short haul flown load factor was 73.8%, an increase of 0.9 points on May 2011, with capacity decreasing by 1.6%.
The long haul flown load factor was 81.5%, an increase of 7.4 points on May 2011, with capacity increasing by 0.5%.
Aer Lingus' total flown passenger numbers in May 2012 were 882,000, an increase of 0.1% compared to May 2011.''
