“Ryanair will carry over 79m passengers this year, thanks to our unbeatable formula of the lowest fares, no fuel surcharges, the most on-time flights, the fewest cancellations, the least mishandled bags and Europe’s No 1 customer service. During the summer months, Ryanair operated over 150,000 flights, of which a record 93% were on-time, while we carried over 25m passengers, including a record 8.9m in August, our highest-ever monthly total.”
