Ryanair set to exceed its passenger growth targets

Analysts are already expecting Ryanair to beat its passenger growth targets for its current financial year, even though only one month of the year has elapsed.

Ryanair is hoping to be carrying 110 million passengers across its European network on a yearly basis by 2019.

Last month, the airline said that in the rolling year to the end of March (the end of its financial year) passenger numbers increased 11% to 90.5 million people, prompting the company to slap a 10.5% growth target on passenger figures for the 12 months to the end of March 2016.
