RYANAIR CARRYS OVER HALF A MILLION MORE PAX THAN BA – UK/EUROPE
Ryanair, Europe’s No. 1 low fares airline, has again today (Wednesday, 6thApril 2005) been confirmed as the UK’s favourite airline for travel UK/Europe. BA and Ryanair’s passengers statistics for March 2005 show that Ryanair carried 630,000 more passengers UK/Europe than BA during the month.
Ryanair’s Head of Communications, Peter Sherrard, said:
“Every month, more and more passengers are flocking to Ryanair’s low fares and excellent customer service – and away from BA’s high fares and poor punctuality.
“BA are still not learning and delivering what customers want. Just recently they increased their fuel surcharge for the fourth time in less than a year – which now amounts to an outrageous £12 on every return short-haul ticket. Ryanair will never introduce a fuel surcharge.
“It’s no wonder that Ryanair achieved 20% passenger growth for March while BA stagnates.â€
