Ryaniar now twice size of British Airways

Ryanair, announced that it carried twice the worldwide traffic of British Airways in June as 5.8million passengers travelled on Ryanair's guaranteed lowest fares (up 13%) while BA carried just 2.9 million passenger (down 5%) in June.

Ryanair celebrated its continued dominance over BA by releasing 1 Million €4 seats for travel in late August, September and October.

Ryanair's Stephen McNamara said: "Ryanair continues to grow traffic each month as passengers opt for Ryanair's guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharge over BA's high fares and unjustified fuel surcharges. Ryanair's passenger traffic grew by 13% in June to 5.8 million while BA's traffic fell by 5% to 2.9 million. Ryanair now carries twice BA's monthly worldwide traffic and we will continue to grow as Ryanair continues to lower fares.
