1231 GMT - Ryanair Holdings is among the most mentioned companies across news items over the past six hours, according to Factiva data, after the budget airline reported a 9% rise in passenger numbers for June. Ryanair said it carried 17.4 million passengers in June compared with 15.9 million for the same month a year ago, despite more than 900 flights being canceled mainly due to air-traffic-control strikes which affected 160,000 passengers. June load factor--a measure of how full a plane is--was unchanged at 95%. AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould wrote that strike action remains the key hurdle to clear, particularly over the all-important summer period, noting that further ATC strikes are planned in July. "There are additional airport and airline-related strikes threatened for the coming months which could see big delays or cancellations, causing further mayhem," Mould added.
