Ryanair carried 5.2 million passengers last month — giving the budget airline its best-ever November.

The total was 6 per cent up on the figure for November 2012. Last month’s figure took the passenger total for the 12 months ending November 2013 to 81.2 million — a record high for any annual period for the budget carrier.

Ryanair’s planes flew 81 per cent full last month compared with 80 per cent in November last year.
