The Irish Lowcaster Ryanair set a historic record, carrying 200.2 million passengers over the financial year, which ended in March. This is the first time that the European airline has overcome this mark, which became a significant milestone for the entire aviation sector of Europe.
According to the company's press service, this figure is 9% higher than in the previous financial year. In particular, in March 2025 alone, Ryanair made more than 84,000 flights and served 15 million passengers, which is 10% more than March 2024. The aircraft load ratio remained stable at 93%.
One of the main reasons for the success of the airline is its efficient business model, which is focused on low costs and attractive prices for passengers. With the use of the latest technologies and route optimization, Ryanair was able to significantly increase the efficiency of its operations. In addition, the expansion of the company's route network plays a significant role, which allows you to cover new markets and attract more customers.
Another key factor is the rapid recovery of demand for air transportation after the pandemic. After several years of restrictions, passengers are actively traveling again, which contributes to the growth of airlines, including low -cost.
Despite the record results, the company was forced to adjust the passenger traffic for the next year. Initially, the transportation of 210 million passengers was expected, but due to delays in the supply of Boeing aircraft, the forecast was reduced to 206 million.
In addition, Ryanair is faced with a number of other challenges, such as an increase in fuel costs, possible strikes of aviation workers and changes in air transportation regulation in Europe. However, the company remains optimistic and plans to continue to expand its presence on the market.
The Ryanair record indicator indicates that Lowcosters continue to play an important role in the development of European aviation. Affordable tickets and a wide network of routes make air travel more accessible to millions of people, which stimulates economic development and increases the mobility of the population.
If the growth trend persists, Ryanair can continue to set new records and strengthen its market position. Despite the challenges, the company demonstrates high flexibility and adaptability to changes in the industry, which allows it to remain a leader among European air carriers.
