Overview

• Ryanair confirmed it will end paper boarding passes, requiring check-in and boarding passes exclusively through the myRyanair app from 12 November 2025.
• The rollout was moved from 3 to 12 November to ease the transition in a quieter travel period after early‑November holidays, according to details reported by ANSA.
• More than 200 million passengers annually will need to download the app, register, and complete digital check-in to board.
• Airports are expected to remove traditional check-in desks but retain bag‑drop points for checked luggage, with no detailed plan disclosed for those unable to use the app.
• Ryanair reports nearly 80% already use digital passes, while consumer groups flag added costs such as a €55 airport check‑in fee (€30 from Spain, €40 from Austria) and industry sources point to ancillary sales and handling‑cost savings as drivers.
