Ryanair's Robin Kiely said:
"Ryanair traffic fell by 200,000 to 5.2m customers in March as previously guided, due to the movement of Easter into April (from March last year). Ryanair's load factor increased by 1% as customers continue to enjoy our lowest fares, easier to use website and recent improvements in customer service including allocated seating and a free second small carry-on bag.
Forward bookings for the summer months continue to grow strongly as Ryanair continues to give our customers the lowest fares and a much improved customer experience."
