The metric they still guide — ≥110M passengers, locked at 93%.

93% probability Ryanair's first-half FY2027 traffic reaches at least 110 million passengers — against 61.3 million already flown in Q1 and reaffirmed full-year guidance of 216 million. We lock traffic, which management reaffirmed, not profit, which it withdrew. Resolves ~3 Nov 2026.

Ryanair carried 61.3 million passengers in Q1 FY2027, up 6%, and reaffirmed full-year traffic guidance of 216 million (+4%) with first-half growth of 6%. Profit after tax fell 34% to €538m on unhedged fuel and 6% lower fares, and the company DECLINED to give full-year profit guidance, citing zero second-half visibility.

— 1 · The Locked Call

Ryanair H1 FY2027 traffic reaches ≥110 million passengers — P = 0.93.

We lock a binary: Ryanair carries at least 110 million passengers across the first half of fiscal 2027, per its results and monthly traffic statistics. Confidence 93%.

— 2 · Why this metric, and why it's nail-able

Management reaffirmed traffic and withdrew profit — so we lock what they will still stand behind.

Ryanair reaffirmed FY2027 traffic guidance of 216 million passengers with first-half growth of 6%, while explicitly refusing to guide full-year profit because it has no second-half fare visibility. Locking a number the company itself declines to forecast would be a guess dressed as a forecast, so we lock traffic instead. Of the required total, 61.3 million is already flown, and the July–September quarter is the peak European summer. Confidence 93%, not higher, because traffic depends on delivered aircraft and on air-traffic-control disruption, which has cancelled meaningful volumes in past European summers. Scored on PASSENGERS CARRIED, not load factor and not revenue.
