Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs
said:
"Ryanair's May traffic grew by 6% to 12.5m customers, while our
load factor rose 1% to
96%, on the back of lower fares.
Regrettably over 200,000 Ryanair customers had their flights
cancelled in May because of ATC strikes (mostly French), ATC staff
shortages and thunderstorms. Ryanair calls for immediate EU
Commission action to prevent more ATC strikes and staff shortages
disrupting the travel plans of Europe's consumers this
summer."
