September 2025 Traffic of Other Airline Companies
Apart from LTM, another airline company that has reported traffic numbers for September 2025 is Ryanair Holdings RYAAY.
Ryanair Holdings
European carrier, Ryanair reported solid traffic numbers for September 2025, driven by upbeat air-travel demand.
The number of passengers transported on Ryanair flights was 19.4 million in September 2025, reflecting a 2% year-over-year increase. The September load factor (percentage of seats filled by passengers) of 94% remained flat on a year-over-year basis, reflecting consistent passenger demand for the airline's services. RYAAY operated more than 107,000 flights in September 2025.
We would like to remind investors that Ryanair carried 200.2 million passengers in its fiscal year ending March 2025, positioning itself as the first European airline to reach 200 million passengers in a single year. As a result, RYAAY is now the world’s leading low-fare airline in terms of passenger traffic, with low fares and reduced costs acting as the main catalyst.
Given this encouraging backdrop, Ryanair expects its fiscal 2026 traffic to grow 3% to 206 million passengers, due to heavily delayed Boeing BA delivery delays.
