Ryanair passenger traffic rose 7% year-over-year in June 2026. Monthly traffic reached a record 21.2 million guests. The airline operated over 116,800 flights during the month.

Total annual traffic reached 211.8 million passengers.
Ryanair urged the French government to reform its air traffic control (ATC) system. A report identified the French provider, DSNA, as understaffed and technologically obsolete. The airline warned that DSNA cannot meet future demand without significant changes. Ryanair highlighted that French ATC strikes disrupt European overflights and broader air travel.
