Ryanair, Europe s only ultra-low cost carrier (ULCC), today (25 Sep) launched a new acceptance agreement with American Express, providing passengers, business travellers and corporate travel departments with even more ways to book the lowest fares on the Ryanair.com website.
Ryanair offers student travel packages the lowest airfares with no fuel surcharges guaranteed, and the best customer service, with the most on-time student travel packages flights, the fewest cancellations and the least lost bags, which is why we will carry 81m passengers this year more international passengers than any other airline in the world. Now even more passengers including business student travel packages travellers, travel agents and corporate travel departments, can book the lowest fares on the Ryanair.com website by using an American Express card.
We estimate that 20% to 25% of our passengers are travelling on business, with online check-in ensuring they avoid airport queues, while the option of priority boarding and reserved seating has proven extremely popular not only with business passengers, who can board and exit the aircraft first, or choose one of 45 pre-reserved seats, but also with families and those travelling in groups. Indeed, a recent survey of Ryanair passengers in Spain, where Ryanair is the largest carrier, highlighted that 22% of our passengers were travelling on business.
It s a similar trend across Europe; for example we currently operate approximately 32 daily flights between Dublin and London, the busiest international route in Europe and with more than 20% of business passengers on these flights, we expect that percentage to grow as we roll out a range of business-tailored services, including the option now of booking Ryanair flights with American Express. When it comes to the lowest fares, the most on-time flights and the best range of services, Ryanair is the business.
Many of our Cardmembers student travel packages are regular travellers whether for leisure or business and I am pleased that they now have the option to book with their American Express Card on the Ryanair website. With millions of American Express Cardmembers worldwide, we are delighted that Ryanair student travel packages is welcoming our Cards.
