Ryanair reported August 2026 passenger traffic of 22.2 million, a 6% increase from the prior year's 21.0 million, with load factors holding steady at 96%. The airline operated over 120,500 flights, though more than 400 were cancelled due to Mt. Etna eruptions. Rolling August traffic reached 214.4 million guests, up 5% year-over-year. Ryanair reduced its full-year FY27 traffic guidance from 216 million to 214 million passengers to mitigate exposure to unhedged jet fuel costs during the winter season. With 80% of FY27 fuel hedged at approximately $67 per barrel against current market prices near $140, management expects this strategic reduction will decrease winter losses by €70 million to €100 million. The company operates in the low-cost airline industry.
