Ryanair has flown more than 10 million passengers in a single month, a first for an airline, the Irish budget carrier said yesterday. Traffic grew 11 percent in July to 10.14 million passengers compared with the same month a year earlier, Ryanair said in a statement.
"This is the first time ever that any airline has carried over 10 million international customers in one calendar month," said spokesperson Kenny Jacobs. In a swipe at Aer Lingus, which has been at the centre of a takeover saga, Ryanair claimed its monthly passenger traffic was more than its Irish rival carried throughout 2014. Ryanair has rolled out a raft of initiatives to win over fliers, including allocated seating, new seats with more legroom, improved in-flight meals, extra carry-on luggage and more business-friendly schedules according to Guardian. The airline recently agreed to sell its 29.8 percent stake in Aer Lingus, helping pave the way for the 1.3 billion euros takeover by British Airways owner IAG.
