Ryanair and Kiwi Partnership Launches Just in Time for Summer Travel

Ryanair, Europe’s leading low-cost airline, has announced the availability of its low fare flights for Kiwi.com customers. The partnership, which was confirmed on May 29th, aligns perfectly with the peak summer holiday season, offering travelers more flexibility and cost-saving options.

As part of this new collaboration, Kiwi customers can now book Ryanair flights and ancillaries through the Kiwi platform. This partnership allows customers to benefit from Ryanair’s competitive fares along with Kiwi’s innovative virtual interlining service.

The agreement brings several advantages for travelers. Customers will receive direct communication from Ryanair regarding flight updates and terms and conditions, and they will have direct access to manage their bookings through their myRyanair accounts without needing to complete additional verification.

Ryanair has been expanding its distribution agreements with major online travel agencies (OTAs), with Kiwi.com being one of the six recent partners. This move highlights Ryanair's strategy to work transparently with OTAs, ensuring no hidden charges and providing full price transparency to consumers.

Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership while in Prague. He emphasized the benefits for Kiwi customers, including no overcharges or hidden mark-ups and the convenience of managing their bookings directly. With the summer season approaching, Wilson looks forward to welcoming many Kiwi customers aboard Ryanair flights, which connect 39 destinations from four Czech airports.

Kiwi.com’s co-founder and CEO, Oliver Dlouhý, also expressed pride in the collaboration. He highlighted that Ryanair's choice of Kiwi as its first OTA partner for booking flights underscores Kiwi’s commitment to enhancing product and customer experience.

This partnership between Ryanair and Kiwi.com promises to enhance the travel experience for many, providing affordable and transparent flight options across Europe. As the summer travel season kicks off, customers can look forward to seamless and cost-effective journeys.
