Ryanair recently announced a recruitment drive for cabin crew for its UK bases
Ryanair, the budget UK airline, released figures for its flight traffic on Wednesday, proving that travellers leapt at the opportunity to go abroad in July as restrictions on travel eased.
9.3m passengers took Ryanair flights during July, more than double the 4.4m figure from June.
Ryanair operated over 61,000 flights in July with an 80% “load factor”, meaning 80% of the available seats were filled. This showed that the airline considered flying to be safer than in June, when the “load factor” was 72%.
The pandemic battered the airline industry, and specifically Ryanair, as the company lost around £900m.
The company made a net loss of €273m for Q1 ending in June, although it has said it could make a profit in Q2, and break even over the course of the year.
Ryanair recently announced a recruitment drive for cabin crew for its UK bases as the airline recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The airline has renewed its partnership with Crewlink, a company which specialises in the recruitment and training of cabin crew.
The Ryanair share price is up by 0.12% during the morning session on Wednesday.
