The low-cost airline saw its load factor rise by 3 per cent for the month - increasing from 91 to 94 per cent - and rolling annual traffic to December grew by 15 per cent to 117 million.

Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said: "Ryanair’s December traffic grew by 20 per cent to 9.0m customers, while our load factor jumped 3% points to 94%, on the back of lower fares in December and the continuing success of our 'Always Getting Better' customer experience programme.
