100%digital. That is Ryanair’s bet for this year in terms of his flight to his flights. The Irish company has a plan that aims to apply this year but has already delayed once: force all passengers to forget the printing cards.
In a new attempt to press the passenger to download his own application, Ryanair has marked as deadline on November 3, 2025 to stop admitting passengers that use a printed paper to show their shipping card.
It is something that the company has already announced and that It must have been implemented This same spring. However, it will not be until November 3, if everything is still underway, when Ryanair admits exclusively to passengers who use a mobile phone to enter their planes.
A decision that, of course, comes with controversy.
Ecological for Ryanair and illegal for Facua
Ryanair’s intention that his passengers access their planes exclusively through a digital shipping card is, without a doubt, a pressure measure for the company’s user to also discharge the application of it.
Claiming that they hope to reduce “300 tons of paper waste per year” and that 80% of their passengers already use the Digital Boarding Cardthe company sees enough reasons to force passengers to take this step. They point out that, in addition, with their own application Myryanair You can have access to many other services such as live flight information or its incident warning.
In the information published by the company, it is not specified what will happen if a client has printed his boarding card and wants to access the plane with it. He also also acts his employees if, for example, the mobile phone is broken once the airport safety control is overcome and only the shipment remains.
From Xataka We have transferred these questions to the company but, for the moment, we have not obtained an answer.
However, this decision that was announced last year and that this same spring should be applied, It is illegal for Facua. The consumer defense association said this decision in October 2024 as “a practice contrary to the legislation as it is abusive.”
In their statement, they also pointed out that the decision was especially unfair to vulnerable groups since, first, the company does not allow check-in At the time of purchase if an extra is not paid in choosing the seat. And, subsequently, it is emphasized that if the physical card is not issued on paper, you can be homeless to those who need their broadcast at the airport itself.
The company’s echogologist speech is responded by Facua by focusing on the cost Ryanair would save to apply this measure. According to the association, what the airline is looking for is saving money on printed paper and, above all, in airport staff.
The decision also comes in the middle of a controversy between the Government and the Irish company, which has announced the march of various airports in the country alleging that the operational rates are too high. It is really An response in the form of pressure measure to the fine imposed by an abusive use of the conditions of hand suitcases.
