    seats that are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because Ryanair
    is a no-refund airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is
    not entitled to change flights or seek a refund.

    available for passengers.

    site as a percentage of total initial seat sales. Initial seat sales exclude
