A range of travel benefits designed to attract more business travellers has been unveiled today by Ryanair.
Priced from €69.99, Ryanair Business Plus includes:
• Flexibility on ticket changes
• 20kg checked-in bag allowance
• Fast track security at selected airports
• Priority boarding
• Premium seats
The move comes ahead of the low fares carrier launching a second GDS partnership, to complement a dedicated corporate and groups service. Ryanair fares became available via Travelport systems in April.
The airline claims more than a quarter of its passengers are already business travellers.
Chief marketing officer Kenny Jacobs said: “Businesses are becoming smarter with their travel and over 25% of our customers already travel on business, choosing Ryanair for our low fares, industry-leading punctuality and the largest route network in Europe.
“We now offer even more business routes, connecting Europe’s major cities with additional flights and improved schedules, ensuring great savings for businesses of all sizes.
“Our commitment to the improvement of our customer experience under our ‘Always Getting Better’ programme continues, following the introduction of allocated seating, a free second carry-on bag, reduced fees, a new website, a brand new app with mobile boarding passes, and our dedicated family service, Ryanair Family Extra.
“This launch of Ryanair Business Plus, combined with our new groups and corporate service, and partnership with Travelport GDS – with a second GDS partner to be announced soon – will make business travel with Ryanair ever simpler, as we continue to offer so much more than just the lowest fares.”
