Ryanair, Europe’s no. 1 airline, today (17 Oct) announced that the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) has formally validated its near-term emission reduction target[1]. Ryanair’s near-term target conforms with the SBTi Aviation pathway and is classified in line with a 1.5^o trajectory. This sees the Group committing to reduce its carbon intensity by 27% by 2031.]

Ryanair’s Director of Sustainability and Finance, Thomas Fowler said:

Last year, we reset our decarbonisation target following the order for 300 Boeing MAX-10 aircraft (21% more seats, 20% less CO2). We’re delighted that SBTi have agreed that this target is in line with the levels required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.”

Additionally, OTAs who sign up to book Ryanair flights via Travelfusion will benefit from;

1. Speed to market giving them a competitive edge.

Through this exciting new agreement, Travelfusion’s network of OTA partners will now be able to offer Ryanair flights to their customers on the condition that they provide full price transparency. This is an incredible development for OTAs who want to sell Ryanair flights without needing to plug a direct connect, with the integration of both Ryanair’s and Travelfusion’s system providing a more streamlined and efficient option that minimises resource requirements but also offers tech support should it be required.”

Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (28 Aug) apologised to its passengers for the excessive flight delays and small number of flight cancellations caused by European ATC “staff shortages” and the “equipment failure” in the Netherlands ATC centre today (Wed 28 Aug), which are affecting all airlines operating to/from Eindhoven and Amsterdam.

Despite EU flights in 2024 being 5% lower than 2019 levels, and even with the benefit of much fewer French ATC strikes, Europe’s ATC delays are at record levels. Over the last 3 years, Europe’s ATC fees have risen by 21% while staffing and service levels continue to decline. This is unacceptable, and EU Commission President von der Leyen must now take action to urgently improve Europe’s competitiveness by reforming its failing ATC system.

Ryanair’s Chief Ops Officer Neal McMahon said:

“It is unacceptable that passengers continue to suffer ATC disruptions as a result of repeated ATC staff shortages and yet another equipment failure in Europe, this time in the Netherlands ATC centre, today (28 Aug), which has forced the cancellation of 12 Ryanair flights so far this morning.

We apologise to our passengers for these repeated ATC disruptions, which are deeply regrettable but beyond Ryanair’s control, and we encourage passengers to visit atcruinedourholiday.com to demand that the EU Commission take urgent action to improve Europe’s failing ATC system.”
