Ryanair, the largest low-cost airline in Europe founded in 1984 by the Irish businessman Thomas Anthony Ryan and headquartered in Swords, large suburban town on the east coast of Ireland situated ten kilometres north of Dublin is planning to say goodbye to boarding passes, airport desks and change check-in to be done online only.
Ryanair would like to complete this project by May 2025 and in this regard the CEO of the airline Michael O' Leary has expressed himself who has stated that nowadays already 60% of passengers obtain their boarding pass through their mobile phone and the estimate is to reach a percentage of 80% by the end of 2024.
As Corriere.it digital portal of the well-known newspaper Corriere della Sera recalls and mentions, in today's times the check-in procedure at the physical counters in airports higlights only a minority of passengers, since it involves a surcharge and not a small amount equivalent to € 55.0.
From May 2025, therefore, boarding passes for Ryanair will only be dematerialized and in force in format on the airline's app, a step that in principle would have been difficult to accept first of all by the CEO of the airline himself who in a statement confessed that he was not comfortable with the prospect of having to take an airplane without a piece of paper even if printed from home.
However, the turn on the digital ticket in its entirety would now also have been embraced by Ryanair's number 1, convinced in all probability by the evident economic savings, which should be, according to estimates reported by the newspaper Corriere della Sera, around € 100 – 120 million per year.
