Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs
said:
"Ryanair's July traffic grew by 4% to 13.1m customers, while our
load factor remained strong at 97%, on the back of lower
fares.
Regrettably almost 200,000 Ryanair customers had their flights
cancelled in July because of repeated ATC staff shortages in
the UK, Germany and France, adverse weather, and unnecessary pilot
and cabin crew strikes. Ryanair, together with other European
airlines, calls for urgent action by the EU Commission and European
governments to address the effect of these ATC staff shortages
which are disrupting the travel plans of millions of Europe's
consumers this summer."
