Ryanair Holdings passenger numbers grew by 9% in June compared to the same period last year despite being forced to cancel over 900 flights mainly due to air-traffic controller (ATC) strikes in France, the company has said.

Ryanair Holdings is the parent company of the Ryanair airline, Buzz airlines, Lauda airlines, and Malta Air.
