Ryanair carried 22.2 million guests in August 2026, up 6% from 21.0 million a year earlier, with load factor flat at 96%. It operated over 120,500 flights in the month, of which more than 400 were cancelled due to Mt. Etna eruptions. The airline cut its FY27 traffic target from 216 million to 214 million passengers to reduce exposure to unhedged jet fuel during the November-to-March winter schedule, with jet fuel trading at around $140/bbl while only 80% of FY27 fuel is hedged at about $67/bbl.
