Ryanair carried 19.9 million passengers in June, a three per cent increase on the same month last year when the company carried 19.3m people.
The budget carrier operated over 109,000 flights in June 2025 but more than 800 flights were cancelled due to the Middle East conflict.
The airline said its planes flew at 95% capacity during the month of June, which was similar to last year.
So far this year Europe's largest airline has carried 202.6m passengers, a seven per cent rise on the same period last year when the firm carried 188.8m passengers. Since the start of the year, its flights have flown at 94% capacity.
Last month, the airline confirmed passengers whose behaviour leads to them being removed from the plane will be fined €500.
The carrier said this would be the “minimum” punishment and that it would continue to pursue ejected passengers for civil damages. Ryanair said it hoped its new policy would act as a deterrent to eliminate “unacceptable behaviour”.
Passengers who are rude, aggressive or drunk can be disruptive and in the most extreme cases can pose a risk to the safety of the aircraft and lead to a plane being diverted.
A spokesperson for Ryanair said: “It is unacceptable that passengers are made to suffer unnecessary disruption because of one unruly passenger’s behaviour.”
"To help ensure that our passengers and crew travel in a comfortable and stress-free environment, without unnecessary disruption caused by a tiny number of unruly passengers, we have introduced a €500 fine, which will be issued to any passenger offloaded from aircraft as a result of their misconduct.
"While these are isolated events which happen across all airlines, disruptive behaviour in such a confined shared space is unacceptable, and we hope that our proactive approach will act as a deterrent to eliminate this unacceptable behaviour onboard our aircraft.”
Meanwhile, Ryanair reported a 16 per cent decline in profit after tax for its latest financial year, which ended in March, as fares dropped by an average of seven per cent.
