Ryanair reported a strong end to 2025, carrying 14.5 million passengers in December, a 7% increase compared with December 2024. The airline operated more than 82,000 flights during the month, maintaining a solid load factor of 92%, unchanged year on year.
The December performance capped a robust rolling 12-month period for Europe’s largest airline. Over the year to December 2025, Ryanair carried 206.5 million passengers, up 5% from 197.2 million a year earlier. The rolling load factor also remained stable at 94%, underscoring continued strong demand and effective capacity management.
The results reflect Ryanair’s ability to sustain high traffic volumes despite ongoing operational challenges across parts of Europe, including weather disruptions and infrastructure constraints at major airports. The airline’s consistent load factors suggest resilient consumer demand and disciplined network planning as it heads into 2026.
