RYANAIR LAUNCHES GROUPS & CORPORATE TRAVEL SERVICE

LESLEY KANE APPOINTED HEAD OF GROUPS & CORPORATE TRAVEL

Ryanair, Europe's favourite low fares airline, today (15 Jan) launched a new Groups & Corporate Travel service and announced it has appointed Lesley Kane (who moves from Head of Sales & Marketing Europe) as its Head of Groups & Corporate Travel, as it actively targets the group and business travel markets in 2014.

Customers can now access a "Groups" section on the homepage of the new and improved Ryanair.com website, which will be followed by a new business product (to be unveiled in the coming weeks) with flexible tickets, reserved seating and fast-track through selected airports, as Ryanair opens over 20 new routes from Ireland, and over 150 new routes from UK airports in 2014.

The launch of Ryanair "Groups" will be of significant interest to all travelling groups including schools, sports clubs and all other large party organisers and with more than 1,600 daily flights, connecting 186 destinations across 30 countries, both groups and business travellers will save time and money thanks to Ryanair's Groups & Corporate Travel products.

Ryanair's Michael O'Leary said:

"2014 is set to be a very exciting year for all groups and business passengers as Ryanair's entry into these markets will significantly lower their costs of travel. We're pleased to appoint Lesley Kane as Ryanair's Head of Groups & Corporate Travel. Her extensive knowledge of sales and marketing, combined with her considerable experience from her time as Head of Ryanair Direct will ensure the successful implementation of Ryanair's new service improvements."

Ryanair's Lesley Kane said:

"I look forward to rolling out Ryanair's new groups and business product offering in early 2014. Ryanair is continually improving our customer service and has received numerous requests from group organisers and corporate businesses to develop and launch these new exciting products. From early 2014, groups and business customers will be able to enjoy the added benefits of our tailored products, which will support Ryanair's passenger growth to over 110 million passengers by 2019."
