RYANAIR BEATS EASYJET ON PUNCTUALITY EVERY MONTH
Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airline, today (11th June 04) celebrated
beating Easyjet for punctuality every month of 2004 so far. The CAA recently
released official punctuality statistics for 2003 which confirmed Ryanair No.1
for punctuality and Easyjet barely scraping 8th place. The trend has continued
for 2004, with Ryanair beating Easyjet every month of the year so far.
Ryanair's Head of Communications, Paul Fitzsimmons said:
" Ryanair is Europe's No.1 on-time airline and that's official from the CAA.
Ryanair beat Easyjet in punctuality EVERY week of 2003 and so far EVERY week of
2004.
The message is clear for passengers - if you want Europe's lowest fares and
Europe's best on-time performance then fly with Ryanair. Easyjet is charging
consumers more for the privilege of being late.
This year Ryanair will carry more passengers than Easyjet, because only Ryanair
delivers the lowest fares and unbeatable on-time performance. That's why more
and more consumers choose Ryanair - almost 28Million of them this year!"
