Ryanair changes ID policy
Ryanair changes ID policy
Passengers on Ryanair flights will not be able to travel with a driver's licence as identification from next week. As of October 1, passengers must present a valid passport or a government issued National Identity Card in order to travel.
The move comes as Ryanair simplifies its identification policy. At present, passengers travelling with the
Dublin based airline can use alternative forms of identification, such as their driver's licence or electoral register card.
Passengers not in possession of a valid form of identification will not be allowed to travel on Ryanair flights. The carrier's Stephen McNamara said: "To avoid passenger confusion...from October 1 all Ryanair passengers must hold a valid passport or valid National Identity Card issued by the government of a European Economic Area (EEA) country."
A full list of the accepted forms of identification accepted by Ryanair can be found on the carrier's website. The airline was in the news earlier this week when it announced it was selling smokeless cigarettes on board its flights.
