Ryanair to abandon paper tickets in November

This was reported by The Independent, Ukrinform reports.

From November 3, Ryanair passengers will no longer be able to print out a paper ticket. Instead, a digital boarding pass will be available in the "myRyanair" app for check-in and boarding.

The app's services will also include a new "order to seat" feature to be served first, real-time flight updates, and alternative flight options in the event of a flight disruption.

After the transition, Ryanair “expects to eliminate almost all airport check-in fees.” Airport check-in remained available, but at a high price.

In 2008, Ryanair became the first airline in the world to offer passengers the ability to check in for their flight online before arriving at the airport.

According to the airline's estimates, eliminating paper passes will save over 300 tons of paper waste annually.

The airline said it intends to use the move to reduce its carbon footprint as it plans to grow to 300 million passengers over the next decade.
