Who's riled? Anyway, LiarAir hasn't done so yet.
"During November, RyanAir carried 240,000 more passengers on intra-European routes than BA"[/QUOTE]
That looks like a quotation - or is it an interpretation? LiarAir's claim was UK/Europe traffic. Perhaps they meant 'intra-European' but they didn't make
that claim until challenged, so far as I can see.
Also, in a media release, LiarAir define what they mean by 'passenger': "(Passengers) represents the number of earned seats flown by Ryanair. Earned seats include seats that are flown
whether or not the passenger turns up (my italics) because once a flight has departed a no-show customer is not entitled to change flights or seek a refund."
So the LiarAir total includes empty seats!!
