Ryanair, Europe's only ultra-low cost carrier (ULCC), today (2 Oct) released its passenger and load factor statistics for September 2013:

·    Traffic increased by 3% to over 8m passengers.

·    Load factor increased 1% to 85%.

·    Annual traffic to end September grew 2% to over 80m passengers.

	Sep 12	Sep 13	Change	Yr to Sep 13
Passengers	7.84M	8.10M	+3%	80.4M (+2%)
Load Factor	84%	85%	+1%	82%

Ryanair's Robin Kiely said:

"Ryanair carried over 8m passengers in September 2013 and our load factor rose by 1% from 84% to 85%, as we enjoyed a record 12-months with over 80m passengers choosing one of our ultra-low fares. We also carried over 9m in August - the first European airline to ever do so.

It's easy to see why so many passengers choose Ryanair, as we offer Europe's lowest fares with no fuel surcharges guaranteed, across over 1,600 routes, connecting 180 destinations in 29 countries, while delivering Europe's No 1 customer service, with the most on-time flights, the fewest cancellations and least mishandled bags."
