'Once again, Ryanair continues to dominate the most popular route,
London-Dublin, carrying over 42% of the passengers every day.

our consumers low fares, choice and efficient services competing with Aer
Lingus, British Airways, and British Midland on these routes.
'And our latest figures confirm passengers like the deal they're getting from
major UK destinations to Dublin. Passengers are flocking into Dublin with
Ryanair from London, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
'We're NO 1 on these routes, carrying over 60% of the passengers on the
Glasgow-Dublin, Edinburgh-Dublin routes, a whopping 97% on the Leeds-Bradford -
