RYANAIR CELEBRATES ITS 140 MILLIONTH PASSENGER
WITH A COMPLIMENTARY TOILETRY BAG
AND SEAT SALE

Ryanair today (Friday, 21st April 2006) has two new reasons to celebrate:

1) 140 million passengers have travelled with Ryanair.

2) Ryanair, together with Southwest and Easyjet, has been voted one of the world’s worst airlines for in-flight amenities.

Ryanair today carries its 140 millionth passenger across its European Network. The airline has grown from carrying 40,000 passengers in 1985, to transporting in excess of 40 million passengers this year.

Ryanair is also celebrating being voted one of the world’s worst airlines for in-flight amenities by Tripadvisor. Ryanair is proud of the fact that it doesn’t waste passengers’ money on useless freebies like ill-fitting socks, fold-up toothbrushes or undrinkable plonk. Instead, Ryanair gives passengers the amenities they really want which are: 1) low fares 2) the most on-time flights 3) the fewest lost bags and 4) the least cancelled flights.

Speaking today, Ryanair Spokesperson, Lorna Farren, said:

“It’s interesting to note that in the same poll, BA was ranked number one for in-flight amenities. This is because BA are busy giving out useless freebies whilst at the same time hitting passengers for a £35 fuel surcharge on top of high fares, frequent delays and cancellations.

“It’s because Ryanair is giving passengers what they really want that people continue to desert British Airways’ high prices in favour of Ryanair’s low fares. What these useless polls demonstrate is that passengers want low prices and high punctuality, not fuel surcharges and fold-up toothbrushes”.

Ryanair today celebrates its 140 millionth passenger by giving them an entirely free of charge toilet bag, and it is also celebrating with another phenomenal Seat Sale with seats on sale for only £15.99 (including tax) for travel during May, which is substantially less than British Airways’ one-way £35 fuel surcharge. Passengers can now travel all over Europe with Ryanair for less than the cost of a British Airways’ fuel levy.

Ich glaube, die sind wirklich fähig aus der schlechtesten Nachricht eine gute Nachricht zu machen. Und das Beste: Ganz unrecht haben sie ja nicht.
