RYANAIR SMASHES 1 BILLION PLATORM VISITS A
YEAR
Ryanair,
Europe's No. 1 airline, today (9 May) announced it smashed 1
billion platform visits per year (April 2017 to March 2018) for the
first time in its history. This new 1,000,000,000 visitor record
(website and app combined) is more visits than Lufthansa, British
Airways, Air France, KLM and Iberia combined, and demonstrates that
Ryanair's website and app are the go-to platforms for customers
searching and booking the lowest fares, thanks to the continuing
success of the "Always Getting Better" customer experience
programme.
The
figures have been independently verified by SimilarWeb and show
that Ryanair's platform received:
●
More visits than Lufthansa, British Airways, Air France, KLM
and Iberia combined
● More visits than Gap, Sky News, Tesco &
Victoria's Secret
●
6 times the visits of Man United, the world's most visited
football club site
●
22 visits per second
●
The most visits
in order of market: 1. UK 2.
Italy 3. Spain 4. Germany 5. Ireland
Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said:
"We are delighted to reach this milestone of 1 billion visits in a
year, the equivalent of nearly every man, woman and child in Europe
and the USA visiting Ryanair's platforms, as consumers demonstrate
they know exactly where to go for the lowest fares in Europe.
Ryanair.com is the world's most visited airline website and the
Ryanair
app is the most used travel app in Europe, and we are
continuing to enhance and improve our digital offering and customer
experience through Ryanair Labs.
We
thank all of our visitors and are celebrating our billion
visits with a 'Thanks a
Billion' flash sale, with seats on the Ryanair.com website and app
available from just €19.99, which must be booked before
midnight (24:00hrs) on Friday (11 May). Since these amazing low
prices will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto
www.ryanair.com
and avoid missing
out."
