It also says that at LTN, EasyJet is number one with 47.9% of the seats, followed by WZZ (27.8%) and Ryanair (17.1%). No surprise there!
I am surprised Ryanair only provide 17.1% of the airports annual throughput, as that only equates to about 1.6 million passengers per year, considering they have four aircraft based at the airport and people have mentioned flights operating in from other bases.
Birmingham airport also has four aircraft based there and someone in the Birmingham forum posted this below post giving all the rotations of these four aircraft based at the airport:

Based aircraft: 4
Destinations: 27
Total weekly flights: 218 (109 arr/109 dep)
With that amount of traffic, the airline is able to feed BHX with about 2.2 million passengers per year. While Ryanair at Luton is down by 600,000 passengers.
I thought it might be down to the aircraft at Luton flying sectors, but this doesn't seem to the case, as both bases fly to the Canaries and Malta, which are about the longest sectors.
Also the above only shows sectors flown by Birmingham based aircraft and if other Ryanair aircraft from other bases serve Birmingham, the passenger numbers for the airport will be higher. But the figure for Luton is for ALL Ryanair flights, regardless of the bases they are flown from.
So it would seem Luton based aircraft are not utilised as highly, the load factors are weaker or the aircraft at Luton do a lot more W flights than other bases.
