Ryanair carried 13.3 million passengers across its extensive route network in February, latest monthly operational figures from the airline show.

That figure represented a 6% increase compared to the corresponding month last year. Load factor – an important growth metric for airlines, showing how full planes really are – remained stable at 92% for the month.

In all, Ryanair operated more than 75,000 flights last month.

On a rolling 12-month basis – from February 2025 to February 2026 – the airline’s passenger levels grew by 4% (year-on-year) to 207.6 million guests.
