Ryanair has reported report annual outcomes, regardless of it having to cancel hundreds of flights in September as a consequence of issues with pilots' rotas.
The Irish airline stated profits after tax rose 10% to €1.45bn (£1.27bn), regardless of the wave of unhealthy publicity.
However, it warned increased prices would make the 12 months forward harder.
The outlook for the approaching 12 months was "on the pessimistic side of cautious", chief government Michael O'Leary stated in an assertion.
The service, Europe's largest low-cost airline, stated passenger numbers had risen by 9% to 130.three million within the 12 months to the top of March,
That enhance was stimulated by decrease fares, it stated, with Germany, Italy and Spain the three largest development markets.
Ryanair stated it anticipated to hold 7% extra passengers within the coming 12 months, but stated prices would rise by 9%, together with workers prices and the oil value. However, fares are anticipated to stay unchanged.
Last 12 months, errors with pilots' rotas led to about 20,000 flights being cancelled.
Problems started after the airline admitted in September it had "messed up" pilots' vacation, leaving it unable to workers all its scheduled flights.
Following reports that pilots had been leaving the agency, Mr O'Leary wrote to the Ryanair's pilots to supply them higher pay and circumstances. And in December, Ryanair stated it could recognise commerce unions, one thing the airline had at all times resisted, with a purpose to keep away from additional disruption to flights over the busy Christmas interval.
Since then, Ryanair has begun to recognise commerce unions on a country-by-country foundation, and its Irish union is at the moment threatening to poll pilots over working practices.
Victoria Moores, European editor for Air Transport World, instructed the BBC's Today programme that Ryanair was a sturdy performer within the aviation sector, thanks partly to its success at filling plane to close full capability.
"If you look at their load factor, which is the percentage of the aircraft that is filled, they are filling 95% of every aircraft on average."
A load issue of between 60% to 70% was extra standard 20 years in the past, Ms Moores stated.
But she added final 12 months's disaster over rosters was prompting change on the airline.
"What we've heard in these results is a move towards pay increases," she stated.
Ryanair's assertion stated it anticipated the marketplace for skilled pilots in Europe to stay tight, placing additional upward stress on workers prices.
