Ryanair passengers down by 99.6% in April, Wizz Air
down by 97.6%
LONDON
(Reuters) - Europe’s biggest budget airline Ryanair (RYA.I) posted a 99.6% fall
in passenger numbers in April, while smaller low cost carrier Wizz Air (WIZZ.L)
said numbers plunged 97.6%, as the novel coronavirus halted most flying across
Europe.
Ryanair
said it flew 40,000 passengers in April compared to the 13.5 million it carried
in the same month in 2019. It said it expected numbers to stay minimal during
May and June due to ongoing travel restrictions.
Wizz Air
said that it carried 78,389 passengers in April, down from 3.3 million in the
comparative 2019 period, but its figures will improve this month as it became
one of the first European airlines to restart commercial routes from London
Luton and Vienna on May 1.
The company
also said a new airline it is planning to launch with flights between Abu Dhabi
in the Middle East and eastern Europe is progressing in line with its initial
timeline to start flying this year.
