Ryanair has announced a further delay to its move to 100% paperless boarding passes.

The airline said the change will now take effect from Wednesday November 12, instead of November 3 - to avoid the busy mid-term break.

The move will mean passengers will no longer be able to download and print a physical paper boarding pass but instead will have to use a digital boarding pass generated in the myRyanair app.

Ryanair said almost 80% of its more than 206 million passengers already use its digital boarding pass – which means around 40 million do not.

Dara Brady, Ryanair's CMO, said that to ensure a seamless transition to 100% digital boarding passes for its customers, the airline will make the switch from November 12, which is traditionally a slightly quieter time for travel following the busy mid-term break period.

"Ryanair's move to 100% digital boarding passes will mean a faster, smarter, and greener travel experience for our customers," he added.
