Ryanair's
Kenny Jacobs said:
"Ryanair's September traffic (which includes Lauda traffic) grew by
11% to 13.1m customers, while our load factor was unchanged at 97%,
on the back of lower fares.
Regrettably, over 400 flights were cancelled in September because
of two days of unnecessary pilot and cabin crew strikes in 5
countries, and repeated ATC staff shortages in the UK, Germany and
France.
During the entire month of September, while we cancelled just over
400 flights, we completed over 68,000 scheduled flights with more
than 80% of these flights arriving on time, as Ryanair continues to
deliver the lowest fares, with the best punctuality of any major EU
airline."
