Ryanair’s passenger numbers down 99.5 pct in May
Change language:
Europe’s largest budget airline Ryanair said on Wednesday that its passenger numbers in May went down by 99.5 percent to a meager 70,000 compared with 14.1 million passengers it carried in the same month of last year.
In May, Ryanair operated only 701 flights, including a number of flights conducted for rescue and medical purposes, according to a statement issued by the airline.
Ryanair expects minimal traffic in June, the statement noted.
Ryanair’s business went normal until March when more and more European countries imposed flight bans and restrictions to curb the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak in the region.
In February, Ryanair handled 10.5 million passengers, up 9 percent over a year ago. By March, however, the figure was almost halved to 5.7 million,
That is good news.
