Ryanair carries 20.1 million passengers in September

Share

Ryanair carried more than 20.1 million passengers in September 2026, an increase of 4% compared with the 19.4 million passengers recorded in the same month last year. The airline operated more than 111,700 flights during the month, with its load factor remaining unchanged at 94%.

Ryanair said more than 1,000 flights were cancelled in September due to a combination of disruptions, including another UK air traffic control system collapse, air traffic controller strikes in Belgium and eruptions of Mount Etna in Sicily.

Over the past 12 months, Ryanair carried 215.1 million passengers, up 5% from 203.9 million in the previous rolling 12-month period. The rolling load factor remained at 94%.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
