Ryanair puts in place passenger ID requirements
Low cost airline, Ryanair, has announced changes to its current passenger identification requirements.
The Airport Authority recently explained that Ryanair has advised passengers that the only acceptable forms of identification include the following:
Work identification cards and membership cards are no longer deemed acceptable.
Children under the age of 16 years travelling with an adult who has photo identification as defined above do not need photo ID on domestic and Ireland-UK routes.
All international journeys require a valid passport (and visa if required) or where applicable a national identity card. Failure to present such valid proof of identity matching the names on the passenger’s reservation will result in the passenger being refused check-in without refund.
Seamus Devine, Manager at the City of Derry Airport explained: “Ryanair, in common with other low fare carriers, offers passengers the lowest possible fare by removing items, such as paper tickets and food and drink, which are associated with traditional airline carriers.
“As a condition of sale each person is required to have photographic ID before being permitted to check-in to any Ryanair flight. This is a standard requirement and one which we have been asked to point out to passengers.”
