This is very incorrect. Ryanair doesn’t even make the list of top 10 largest airlines by revenue and barely makes #5 on largest airlines by passengers flown. American and United both still carry more passengers per year than Ryanair (Source: Wikipedia)
Also, Ryanair’s punctuality numbers have been pretty poor the last few years, including just 68% in 2018 (Source: CAA).
No, it's entirely correct depending on your definition of international airline. When this post was written over 2 years ago, Ryanair was the 5th largest carrier in terms of passenger number - but all four of the airlines above them in the list predominantly flew withn the US. Ryanair carries more passengers between international destinations any other airline.
