Passengers up 12% at Ryanair
08.01.10
Ryanair carried 4.9m passengers in December, up 12% on the same month last year. Its load factor rose by 2 percentage points to 81%. In 2009 the budget airline carried 65.3m passengers, an increase of 13% on 2008.
The airline, which recently announced that it would not buy more Boeing planes after its current deliveries end in 2013, said annual spending on planes will fall from €1.2bn in the current fiscal year to around €100m in the year ending March 2013. At that point, it plans to start to return excess cash to shareholders.
Ryanair also ruled out a third attempt to buy fellow Irish airline Aer Lingus. A spokesman said: ‘There is no truth to recent Irish media speculation that Ryanair is preparing a third bid for Aer Lingus. In the absence of any decision by the Irish Government to sell its 25% stake, a third bid by Ryanair remains highly unlikely.'
