The budget carrier said strong pent-up travel demand during October half-term and then over the peak Christmas and new year holiday season, with no adverse impacts from Covid or the war in Ukraine, "stimulated strong traffic and fares across all market".
A 24% year-on-year increase in Q3 traffic to 38.4 million passengers, up 7% versus 2019/20, and a 14% increase in fares compared with pre-Covid levels helped Ryanair to an eventual post-tax profit of €211 million for Q3, up from the €88 million it made during the same period to the end of 2019.
