Ryanair Holdings Plc said strong demand across Europe and the UK drove its best ever sales last weekend as people continue to plan summer getaways despite the surging cost of living.

Passenger bookings at Europe’s biggest discount airline exceeded 2 million, surpassing the previous record set in 2019 by 400,000 or 25%, Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary said Tuesday in a London briefing where he unveiled an expanded timetable of UK flights for the coming summer.
