Ryanair makes 250,000 Facebook friends

Ryanair’s Facebook page has attracted 250,000 followers in the six weeks since it launched.

The airline finally entered the world of Facebook in July with a campaign designed to help it make friends quickly.

It invited Facebook fans to enter a competition to get their name and face on a Ryanair plane.

The ’30 Names 30 Planes’ competition, as part of its 30th birthday celebrations, draws to a close at 9pm on August 31.
