In London, Ryanair CMO, Kenny Jacobs said:
"Europe's customers have always chosen Ryanair for our low fares and great choice of routes and through our "Always Getting Better" programme, we are continuing to improve our customer experience. Those low fares won't change, but we will continue to listen and strive to enhance every aspect of our business and our new Customer Charter outlines the way we want to deliver an enjoyable, simple and low cost travel experience to customers. Our customers can look forward to an improved inflight experience with new cabin interiors and a new menu, fantastic new digital features including personalised websites, a faster app, 'hold the fare' and price comparison features and great destination content, reduced fees and a new flight cancellation option, as well as new insurance products. We will also continue to add new routes and airports to what is already Europe's largest network, offering an even greater choice to our 100m annual customers."
Ryanair CEO, Michael O'Leary said:
"2014/15 was a record year for Ryanair, as we grew our traffic to 90m customers and started to dramatically improve the customer experience through the introduction of allocated seating, a second free carry-on bag, our new mobile app and website and our new dedicated Family Extra and Business Plus services, as well as more routes to even more airports, with improved schedules and frequencies. We now want to celebrate our 30th birthday in 2015 by launching our new Customer Charter and the 2nd year of our "Always Getting Better" plan as we grow to carry 100m customers this year. We thank our customers for making Ryanair Europe's favourite airline and assure them that we will continue to offer them so much more than just the lowest fares, with the biggest route network, industry leading reliability and performance, and the best customer service."
