Traffic at Ryanair rose 5 per cent last month, the airline said, with a total of 15.8 million passengers flying on its routes during the month.
That compared to 15 million passengers in March 2025.
Load factor, a measure of how full flights are, was stable at 93 per cent.
That brings to 208.4 million the number of passengers that have flown with Ryanair in the 12 months to the end of March. It marks a 4 per cent increase year on year for the airline, while load factor for the rolling 12-month period remained stable at 94 per cent.

Airlines in general are delaying taking out new jet fuel hedges in the hope that prices will fall in the coming months.
