There are big changes ahead for Ryanair passengers as the airline is set to introduce new rules that will impact all travellers this summer - and could cause havoc

Ryanair is set to change how passengers board flights ahead of the summer, with the airline no longer accepting printed boarding passes from passengers

The popular airline is reportedly set to make a huge change to its boarding pass rules later this year, which is set to cause 'havoc' for passengers when it comes into effect.

As well as removing printed boarding passes, O'Leary also has his sights set on removing check-in desks at airports. Travel expert Eoghan Corry says passengers are in for a pretty big shift come summertime as a result of the impending changes.

Ryanair is set to introduce new rules that will impact all travellers this summer, the low cost carrier - which is based in Ireland - has confirmed this week.

For those looking to hop aboard a Ryanair flight this summer, there are some significant changes in the pipeline regarding how the airline handles boarding passes. It was reported late last year that the airline intends to scrap the paper boarding passes and move instead to a fully digital system.
