Ryanair Group CEO Michael O’Leary celebrated the achievement, stating, “We are proud to welcome our 200 millionth passenger and pleased that our customers have saved an estimated €5 billion compared to competitor fares.” This record underscores Ryanair’s continued growth and commitment to affordable travel across Europe.
