Ryan releases over 2 million tickets for just £10

6th August 2007 Print
Ryanair, Britain’s largest airline has called on British Airways to immediately remove what it calls “unnecessary” fuel surcharges. Ryanair, which this year will carry over 50m passengers is the only airline to guarantee its passenger will not now or ever levy a fuel surcharge. Ryanair is also the only airline in Britain to guarantee the lowest fares.

On every route which Ryanair operates, passengers can obtain a double the difference refund if they can find a lower fare for any similar itinerary, with any competitor airline. Ryanair also guarantees no fuel surcharges and a guarantee of no price fixing either.

Speaking at this morning’s press conference, Ryanair’s CEO, Michael O’Leary said:

“There is only one way that British passengers and visitors can guarantee that they are getting the lowest fare, guarantee that they won’t suffer a fuel surcharge and guarantee that they won’t be subject to price fixing and that is to book with Ryanair, Britain’s favourite airline.

“To mark a week when British Airways and Virgin Atlantic admitted to price fixing and overcharging passengers, Ryanair is releasing 2.7m seats for travel through September, October and November this year at an all inclusive price of just £10* one way. This £10* fare includes all taxes, fees and charges, with a guarantee of no price fixing and no fuel surcharges either.

“The fuel surcharges levied by British Airways, Virgin Atlantic are just their latest price fixing scam. The flag carrier airlines have been price fixing for years, which is why they regularly apply for and obtain anti-trust immunity from both the US and European authorities.

“This week’s revelations that BA was engaged in price fixing, as well as losing thousands of passengers bags proves yet again that passengers who want a fair fare should fly with Ryanair, the only airline that delivers the lowest fares, the best punctuality, the youngest fleet of aircraft, with a guarantee of no price fixing and no fuel surcharges either”.

These 2.7m £10* fares will sell out quickly, so passengers who want to avail of them should book this week at Ryanair.com.
