Budget airline Ryanair plans to double its passenger number to 100 million within five years, chief executive Michael O'Leary said today.
"We are still the fastest-growing airline in Europe and I expect that we double from 50 million passengers this year to 100 million passengers in five years' time," Mr O'Leary said.
The airline also plans to increase its number of bases over the next five years. "The number of bases will be doubled from 19 or 20 to about 40," O'Leary said.
