Ryanair carried 10.6 million passengers in June

Ryanair carried 10.6 million passengers in June according to its latest traffic statistics.

The June figures represent a rise of 11 per cent on the same month in 2015 despite what the airline described as “unacceptable air strikes”.

"These record monthly numbers and load factors were delivered, at lower fares, despite the repeated disruptions caused by unacceptable French ATC strikes, and we are again calling on the European Commission to urgently take action to reduce the impact of these ATC strikes on Europe's citizens and the single market,"a Ryanair spokeswoman said.

Ryanair’s load factor grew by one per cent to 94 per cent during the same period.

The carrier’s rolling annual traffic up to the end of June grew 16 per cent o 109.6 million.
