Second quarter profit rose to 197 million euros ($266 million) compared to 78 million euros a year earlier, the budget airline company said.

Chief financial officer Howard Millar said: “We’ve made a lot of service improvements over the last six or seven months and we’re seeing the benefits.”

The rise comes after profit warnings by rivals Air France-KLM and Lufthansa.

Ryanair, which is Europe’s biggest budget airline, began promoting a more customer-friendly image late last year.

The airline raised its profit forecast for the year to March 2015 to a range of between 620 million euros to 650 million euros, up from a previous estimated range of 580 million euros to 620 million euros.

Ryanair has also said that it plans to aggressively raise capacity this winter by 8% and build its business-friendly routes.
