Ryanair delays transition to paperless boarding passes

Friday, 07 Mar, 2025 0

Ryanair is pushing back its planned transition to 100% paperless boarding passes.

Instead, it will now take effect at the start of the winter schedule on 3 Nov 2025.

From this date, Ryanair passengers will no longer download and print a physical paper boarding pass but will instead use the digital boarding pass accessible in their ‘myRyanair’

Ryanair says almost 80% of Ryanair’s passengers currently use the digital boarding pass.

As a result, Ryanair expects to eliminate almost all airport check-in fees from Nov 2025, as all passengers will have checked-in online/in-app.

Ryanair’s move to entirely paperless boarding from Nov 2025 will save over 300 tonnes in paper waste each year, it estimates

The airline is touting the myRyanair app features as a more effective way to travel, including a new Order to Seat feature allowing passengers to order direct from their seat and get served first.

The app also issues flight information updates and updates from Ryanair’s operations centre during disruption, as well as real time alternative flight options during disruption.

Ryanair CMO, Dara Brady, said: “This move to 100% paperless boarding passes will allow us to deliver an enhanced travel experience for customers, streamlined through the myRyanair app during our less busy winter schedule.”

“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.”
