Mr. Willie Walsh:

Passengers vote with their feet because they come to us. The Senator made a comment that in our home market, the United Kingdom, EasyJet and Ryanair fly more passengers; they do not. British Airways flies more passengers in the United Kingdom than does any other airline. It flies 39.9 million passengers, as against EasyJet's total of 34.8 million and Ryanair's total of 29.4 million. These are the statistics from the Civil Aviation Authority.
