By Phil Davies | April 02, 2025, 07: 27 Ryanair has become the first German airline to have 200 million people in a single time. The total came as Europe’s largest carrier saw March volumes rise by 10 % to 15 million over the equivalent month last year. Last week’s weight issue of 93 % was the same as March 2024 as more than 84, 000 planes were operated. Total carryings for the 12 months ending in March were up by 9 % to 200.2 million. However, budget rival Wizz Air described summer orders as “encouraging” as the aircraft reported a surge in March customer carryings.

Tickets for this quarter are up in the “mid-to-high youth” according to Easter falling completely in April this time. ” June orders look encouraging, with weight components already 2-3 percentage points higher than this time last year in the main summer months”, the central and eastern European airline said. Passenger numbers rose by 6.4 % in March to 5.1 million as capacity increased by 6.7 %. The airport reported a 2.2 % rise in the moving 12 month customer full to 63.4 million.
