Ryanair launches Covid-19 certificate wallet
Ryanair has rolled a new Covid-19 Travel Wallet which is integrated within the Ryanair app.
Customers can now upload negative PCR tests, their proof of a Covid vaccination and other Covid documents that may be required for travel to the EU this summer.
The successful rollout of Covid vaccines will see the return of EU holiday travel in summer 2021 and the Ryanair Covid Certificate Wallet hopes to make EU air travel as seamless as possible for customers.
Ryanair is confident that the EU’s vaccine rollout programme will see the removal of current EU travel restrictions in time for the school holidays (June to Sept), and in the interim, customers can use Ryanair’s C-19 Wallet, which will house all Covid travel documents in the one location making it easy to present at airports on the day of travel.
Since EU Governments won’t have a vaccine passport in place for this summer, Ryanair is mindful that additional Covid travel documents may be required by certain EU countries and Ryanair’s new C-19 Travel Wallet ensures passengers have all their Covid-19 travel documents saved and secure in one place.
Ryanair’s Director of Marketing, Dara Brady said: "We are very pleased to launch this Ryanair C-19 Travel Wallet as we prepare for the return of family holidays in summer 2021."
"Many Ryanair customers will be taking their first holiday in over a year, adhering to new travel guidelines and this C-19 Travel Wallet allows customers to store all of their Covid documents such as PCR test results, passenger locator forms and vaccine certificates in the one location. "
"Ryanair’s summer 2021 schedules are on sale – subject to changing Government travel restrictions – and once the high-risk/elderly population of Europe is vaccinated by the end of May or June, travel restrictions will be relaxed and air travel will experience a bounce back from pent-up customer demand," Brady said.
