Ryanair dethrones Iberia in Spain

ryanair It is hard to beleive but I checked it and it is true. Despite trating passengers as cattle, having the worst behaving (to passengers) cabin crew. They have done it.
Irish low-cost airline Ryanair said it had overtaken Spanish flag carrier Iberia as the largest airline in Spain in terms of the number of passengers carried.
The company quoted official statistics from Spain's airport authority AENA showing that Ryanair in July transported 2.98 million passengers to or from Spain, compared to 2.77 million for Iberia. The budget carrier congratulated itself for having "dethroned Iberia as the preferred company in Spain."
The company, which began operating from Barcelona's main airport El Prat, said in a statement it planned to add 12 new destinations from Madrid's Barajas airport this year, to reach a total of 44.
Iberia by contrast has said it plans to further cut its domestic offers in order to concentrate on international routes, in particular to Latin America.
