Ryanair passenger traffic grew 8% last month as consumers splurged on travel plans during the Easter break.

The airline said it carried an extra one million passenger compared to March 2023, reaching a total 13.6 million guests last month as cost pressures for consumers with more disposable income may have eased amid cooling inflation.
