Ryanair plan 150% increase in boarding card fee
09.11.09
Ryanair will raise the fee it charges passengers for printing of boarding cards at airports from €40 to €100, a 150% increase, in order to stop passengers arriving at the airport without the cards (and to raise more income), the Irish Examiner reported yesterday.
All Ryanair passengers are required to check in online and print their own boarding passes at home or in the office prior to arriving at the airport. Those who forget to do so and require a reprint at the airport are currently charged €40, but Ryanair said it is considering raising this to €100.
The increase was justified yesterday by Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary. He said: ‘You really must now check in before you get to the airport. If you don’t, the fine is €40. If that doesn’t get rid of them all within a very short order, we double that fine to €100. We don’t want people showing up without the pre-printed boarding card.’
