Ryanair says it is yet to feel the pinch

Saturday 6th September, 2008
Europe's second largest no-frills carrier has announced the amount of seats sold per flight had risen to 91% in August compared with 87% in the same period last year.
The easyJet figures are similar to those announced by Europe's biggest budget airline, Ryanair, earlier this week, when it said its August load factor was 90%.
Travel analysts said the August figures showed that consumers are still flying abroad for their holidays and spending cutbacks have yet to hit low-budget, short-haul travel.
