The airline on Wednesday said passenger numbers in April rose by 13% year-on-year to 16 million with an improved load factor of 94%, up 3 percentage points, although the previous year’s numbers were affected by Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

Ryanair reported a rolling 12 month total of 170.3 million passengers, up 55% year on year.

French workers have mounted a series of strikes since January in protest at government plans to raise the retirement age to 64 from 62.
