Ryanair eliminates paper boarding passes: the future of air check-in

05-10-24

Ryanair, known for being an airline that constantly seeks to optimize its operating costs, has announced a significant change to its check-in procedures. Over the next six months, it will completely eliminate paper boarding passes and the option of airport check-in. From now on, passengers will only be able to check in via the airline's website or mobile app.

Ryanair Group CEO Michael O'Leary stressed at a press conference that this move is part of the airline's efforts to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. Online check-in is already mandatory for most Ryanair passengers, and those who do not do so must pay additional fees that, in some cases, exceed the cost of the ticket.
