Ryanair’s efforts to improve relations with customers through a more friendly approach has now been extended to the business traveller. Europe’s largest budget airline has launched a flexible business-class ticket in its latest U-turn from a no-frills tradition.

Ryanair will soon launch a second GDS partnership, to complement its dedicated corporate and groups service, which will allow even more businesses access to its low fares, saving European companies millions in travel expenses every year.

Ryanair’s Chief Marketing Officer, Kenny Jacobs said:

Ryanair is delighted to launch Ryanair Business Plus, offering business and corporate travellers a tailored package, including flexible ticket changes, a 20kg bag allowance, fast-track at airports, priority boarding and premium seating.

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.
