Ryanair Restores All Italian
RYANAIR RESTORES ALL ITALIAN DOMESTIC FLIGHTS, AS AGREEMENT REACHED WITH ENAC THAT ALL PASSENGERS WILL PROVIDE PASSPORT OR EU/EEA ID CARDS
Ryanair, Italy's favourite airline, today (7th Jan 10) announced that it would restore all its Italian domestic flights - without interruption - from January 23rd next, as Ryanair and ENAC today reached agreement that all passengers intending to travel on Ryanair's domestic Italian flights will provide either a passport or valid EU/EEA National Identity Card in full compliance with the security requirements, which apply on all Ryanair flights across the EU.
Because Ryanair operates a policy of 100% web check-in, it is imperative for the safety and security of all Ryanair flights, that cabin crew and boarding gate agents can readily identify all intending passengers and this is why Ryanair requires all passengers to produce either a passport or an EU/EEA National Identity Card, regardless of whether the flight is an international or domestic flight in Europe.
Ryanair welcomes today's agreement with ENAC which enhances the ID and security requirements on all Italian domestic flights and looks forward to the uninterrupted continuation of Ryanair's domestic Italian flights from 23rd January next.
Speaking in Rome, Ryanair's Director of Ground Operations, Adrian Dunne said:
"We are pleased that today's agreement with ENAC will allow Ryanair's domestic flights in Italy to continue uninterrupted after 23rd January next. We believe that ENAC's new Ordinanza, which requires all passengers on domestic Italian flights to produce either a passport or an approved EU/EEA National Identity Card at the airport, enhances the safety and security of domestic flights within Italy.
"We would like to thank ENAC's Director General, Mr Alessio Quaranta and the Italian authorities for their help and assistance in resolving this dispute, and we will now be contacting all passengers with bookings on Ryanair's Italian domestic flights after the 23rd January to reassure them that their flights will operate as scheduled, without interruption and to ensure that all passengers travelling on these flights will produce either a passport or an approved EU/EEA National Identity Card, as they agreed to at the time of booking their flights on www.ryanair.com."
