LF RISES 1% TO 96% ON LOWER FARES

Ryanair, Europe's No.1 airline, today (2 Nov) released October traffic statistics as follows:

●     Traffic grew 8% to 11.8m customers.

●     Load factor rose 1% point to 96%

●     Rolling annual traffic to October grew 12% to 128.2m customers.

	Oct 16	Oct 17	Change
Customers	10.9M	11.8M	+8%
Load Factor	95%	96%	+1%

Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said:

"Ryanair's October traffic grew by 8% to 11.8m customers, while our load factor jumped 1% to 96%, on the back of lower fares. These figures include the flight cancellations announced in September. Ryanair customers can look forward to even lower fares when they make advance bookings for winter or summer, so there's never been a better time to book a low fare flight on Ryanair."
