Ryanair has flown more than 10 million passengers in a single month, a first for an airline, the Irish budget carrier said Wednesday.

Traffic grew 11 percent in July to 10.14 million passengers compared with the same month a year earlier, Ryanair said in a statement.

"This is the first time ever that any airline has carried over 10 million international customers in one calendar month," said spokesperson Kenny Jacobs.
