Ryanair Boss Defends Digital Passes and Says His 86-Year-Old Mum Uses App

Ryanair will require digital boarding passes from November 12, with exceptions for flights to Albania and Morocco; almost 80% of passengers already use digital passes.

  • On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, Ryanair will switch to 100% digital boarding passes after delaying the change from November 3, 2025, requiring use of the myRyanair app.
  • Amid its digital rollout, Ryanair highlighted almost 80% usage of digital passes among its 206 million+ customers and chose the quieter mid-term break period to ease the transition.
  • Because some countries require paper tickets, Ryanair will accept exceptions for those routes as Albania authorities insist on paper passes until March 2026 and Morocco authorities maintain the same rule.
  • Around 40 million passengers face a forced switch to digital passes, with passengers without smartphones advised to use a friend or family device or get a reissued paper pass if checked in.
  • Framed as part of a wider digital push, the airline pointed to in-app services like the myRyanair app and Order to Seat, noting festivals, music and sporting events already moved to digital-only ticketing.
