Ryanair Sets November 12 Start for App-Only Boarding Passes

The airline shifted the rollout to ease the transition after the mid-term break.

Overview

  • From November 12, passengers must present boarding passes generated in the myRyanair app, with online printing no longer available.
  • Local rules still require paper passes in Morocco, most of Turkey except Dalaman, and at Tirana in Albania until a planned change in March.
  • If a traveler’s phone is lost or the battery dies after check-in, staff will reissue a boarding pass at the airport free of charge, with the current €20 reissue fee waived from November 3.
  • Ryanair says the switch will cut costs and save about 300 tonnes of paper as it reduces reliance on airport check-in desks.
  • Executives expect some early teething problems but note that roughly 80–90% of customers already use digital boarding passes.
