Ryanair carried over 128m customers last year (1 Jan – 31 Dec 2017), over 1.5 times Easyjet (77m), double Lufthansa (60m) and nearly three-times BA (44m). In fact, Ryanair carried more customers than Easyjet and BA combined.

These low fare seats are available for booking on the Ryanair.com website until midnight Thursday (21 June).

Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said:

“IATA has once again confirmed that Ryanair remains Europe’s favourite airline and this report demonstrates that European consumers want the lowest fares and widest choice of routes.

This year, we will carry 139m customers, while continuing to lower fares and grow our route network across Europe. To celebrate we have launched a sale with 10% off one million seats across our European network, for travel in September and October.
