IT'S OFFICIAL - RYANAIR IS NO. 1 FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
Ryanair, Europe's No. 1 low fares airline today (Wednesday, 22nd February 2006)
welcomed the just released AEA and Ryanair figures for customer service in 2005.
Speaking today, Peter Sherrard, Ryanair's Head of Communications said:
'The comparison between AEA, Ryanair and Easyjet customer service
statistics clearly shows that for the third year in a row Ryanair is the
most punctual major airline in Europe with the most on time flights, the
fewest cancellations and least lost bags.
'The report confirms:
Flights: During 2005, nearly 3 in 10 passengers
who chose British Airways were delayed compared
to just 1 out of 10 with Ryanair.
Mislaid bags: During 2005, 35 passengers in
every 2,000 flying with British Airways had
their bag mislaid compared to just 1 in every
2,000 with Ryanair.
Cancellations: During 2005, 12 in every 800
British Airways flights were cancelled, compared
to less than 5 in every 800 with Ryanair.
'The report also confirms what millions of European consumers already
know; if you want the lowest fares, the best customer service and best
on-times, fly Ryanair'.
