The Ryanair Group recorded an extremely high decrease in passengers in February 2021 - in direct comparison with January 2021. The carrier only had 0,5 million passengers on board - a decrease of over 60 percent.

The picture is even more drastic if you compare February 2020 and 2021. In the same month last year, the Irish aviation group still had 10,5 million passengers across the group. This year only 4,7 percent of this performance was achieved. In other words: a decrease of around 95,3 percent.

The trend at Ryanair has been pointing downwards for a few months. Although the numbers rose again in July and August, which were well below 2019, things have continued to decline month after month since then. This could also have contributed significantly to the fact that from Vienna-Schwechat the resumption of many routes considerably, in some cases until the summer holidays, moved backwards.
