DUBLIN—Ryanair flew 16 million passengers in April, up 13 percent year-on-year to record its third busiest month for traffic ever, Europe’s largest airline by passenger numbers said on Wednesday.
The average proportion of empty seats per flight for the period—which included the Easter holidays—fell to 6 percent. The airline also cancelled more than 650 flights, affecting some 118,000 customers, due to French air traffic control strikes last month.
