RYANAIR FEB TRAFFIC DOWN 3%

79.3M PAX CARRIED IN 12 MONTHS TO FEB 13 (UP 4 %)

Ryanair, Europe's only ultra-low cost carrier (ULCC), today (5 Mar) released passenger and load factor stats for Feb 2013, during which its adjusted monthly traffic fell - as previously guided - by 3% over Feb 2012 as Ryanair grounded up to 80 aircraft. Feb 2012 was a leap year and thus had 29 days which accounts for a further 3% drop in traffic.

Ryanair's traffic and load factor stats for Feb 2013 are as follows:

	Feb 12 (29 days)	Feb 13 (28 days)	Change (-3%)	Yr to Feb 13
Passengers	4.47M	4.20M	-6%	79.3M (+4%)
Load Factor	76%	77%	+1%	82%

Ryanair's Robin Kiely said:

"As previously guided, Ryanair's adjusted February 2013 traffic fell by 3% over February 2012 as we grounded up to 80 aircraft. The leap year of February 2012 had 29 days and accounted for a further 3% drop. However, Ryanair's load factor increased by 1% and we delivered another record 12-month traffic as almost 80m passengers chose one of Ryanair's ultra-low fares since February 2012."
