The digital boarding pass initiative will take effect at Ryanair on 3 November 2025, when the airline will commence its winter schedule.
Ryanair CMO, Dara Brady, said, “This move to 100% paperless boarding passes from November 2025 will allow us to deliver an enhanced travel experience for customers, streamlined through the myRyanair app during our less busy winter schedule.”
DIGITAL BOARDING PASSES FOR RYANAIR
This means that from November, Ryanair passengers will no longer download and print a physical paper boarding pass but will instead use the digital boarding pass generated in their myRyanair app during check-in.
Currently, almost 80% of Ryanair’s 200 million passengers already use digital boarding passes, according to Belfast Live.
As a result of this fully digital boarding pass initiative, Ryanair expects to eliminate almost all airport check-in fees from November 2025, since all passengers will have checked in online or via the app – and generated their digital boarding pass.
REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Ryanair’s move to entirely paperless boarding from November 2025 will enable passengers to reduce their carbon footprint by eliminating unnecessary paper, saving over 300 tonnes in paper waste each year.
As well as being better for the environment, using the myRyanair app also enhances customers’ travel experience as they benefit from a range of helpful in-app features and initiatives including:
- New Order to Seat feature allowing passengers to order direct from their seat and get served first
- Live flight information and updates
- Direct updates from Ryanair’s operations centre during disruption
- Terminal, Gate and Boarding status updates
- Real-time alternative flight options during disruption
- All travel documents accessible in one convenient place
“This will be particularly useful to passengers during disruptions as it will facilitate real-time updates from our Ops Centre directly to passengers’ phones, and will also provide them with alternative flight options, and offer transfers or hotel accommodation options when necessary,” Brady said.
