Ryanair numbers up for month of August

Ryanair announced today that 4.8 million passengers used the service in August making it the busiest month for the airline this year.

The airline also stated that it now carries 55% more passengers than British Airways which carried 3.1 million passengers during the same period.

Ryanair's Peter Sherrard said: “The combination of British Airways' high fares, fuel surcharges and frequent delays has prompted British passengers to choose Ryanair in record numbers, leaving British Airways floundering.”
