Ryanair carried 15 million passengers across its extensive route network during March, representing a 10% year-on-year increase. In all, Ryanair operated more than 84,000 flights last month.

Load factor – an important growth metric for airlines, showing how full planes actually are – sat at an impressive 93% last month.

As previously announced, Ryanair also became the first European airline to carry 200 million people in a 12-month period – carrying 200.2 million people (up from 183.7 million) between March 2024 and March 2025.
