RYANAIR has today launched a new payment partnership with online payments service PayPal.

The agreement means Ryanair passengers will now be able to pay for flights using their Paypal account.

The airline said the agreement was the latest addition to improvements in its customer services.

Other improvements include allocated seating, a second free cabin bag and a new website and app.

“As the pioneer of faster, safer online payments, PayPal is delighted to help Ryanair develop its customer experience by making it even easier and quicker for travellers to book and pay for their flights online”, commented PayPal’s Vice President for Global Operations Europe, Middle East and Africa Louise Phelan. 

Ryanair’s chief marketing officer, Kenny Jacobs, said: “Our partnership with PayPal is the latest element of our ‘Always Getting Better’ programme and our commitment to the continued improvement of our customer experience.”
