Ryanair's Chief Marketing Officer,
Kenny Jacobs said
 
"Ryanair traffic grew by 300,000 to 8.2m customers in May, thanks to the continuing success of our lower fares and our improving 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. Ryanair continues to deliver so much more than just the lowest fares for our 82.3m customers.
 
We are especially pleased with the 3% point improvement in May load factor, which is slightly ahead of our 2% point growth target."
