Back to newsRyanair carried over 21 million passengers in June 2026, marking a record-breaking month driven by strong tourism demand and high load factors across Europe. Key markets including Spain, Italy, the UK, and Germany contributed significantly to this growth. For travellers heading to Crete, this surge reflects broader trends of increased flight availability and competitive fares from major European cities. Visitors flying Ryanair to Heraklion or Chania can expect busy airports and fuller flights this summer, so booking early and arriving at the airport with extra time is advisable. The high load factors indicate seats are selling out quickly, meaning last-minute bookings may be limited or more expensive. Travellers are encouraged to check baggage policies and online check-in deadlines in advance to avoid delays at the gate.
