            "Ryanair traffic grew by 400,000 to 7.8m customers in April due to the presence of Easter in the month (but not in April the prior year), the continuing success of our lower fares and our improved customer experience,             including our great new website, allocated seating, a free 2nd small carry-on bag and PED (portable electric device) use on all flights."
