Ryanair launches Brexit fares
Ryanair has launched a ‘Fly Home to Vote Remain’ seat sale to encourage Britons living overseas to come back for next month’s EU referendum.
The airline is hoping more than 1.2 million ex-pats living in other European countries will vote for the UK to remain part of the EU.
It is offering seats on June 22 and June 23, the day of the referendum, from €19.99. The flights, available to all of Ryanair’s UK airports, go on sale at midnight tonight and must be booked by midnight tonight (May 19).
Ryanair, which employs over 3,000 people across its 13 UK airport bases and carries over 41 million passengers between the UK and Europe each year, is actively campaigning for a ‘Remain’ vote.
The airline says remaining in the EU will lead to more UK jobs and better economic growth.
Chief marketing officer Kenny Jacobs said: "As the UK’s largest airline, Ryanair is absolutely clear that the UK economy and its future growth prospects are stronger as a member of the European Union than they are outside of the EU and with just five weeks to go, we will continue to work hard to help deliver a resounding ‘Remain’ vote on 23rd June."
