Ryanair carried 19.2 million passengers across its extensive route network in October, latest monthly traffic stats for the airline show.

The October figure represented a 5% increase on the corresponding month last year. Load factor – which shows how full planes are – was a healthy 93% across the month.

Ryanair operated more than 107,000 flights last month.

The latest traffic figures come a day after Ryanair posted a strong set of financial and operational results for the first half of this year – a period which saw it generate strong double-digit percentage growth in both profit and revenue and carry record passenger numbers for a six-month trading period.
