Budget airline Ryanair has announced it will launch a new ‘low price’ accommodation booking website.
Ryanair Rooms will offer customers of the airline a wide choice of hotels, hostels, B&Bs, holiday villas and homestay options alongside flights when it launches on 1 October.
The move will see Ryanair end its partnership with online travel agent Booking.com – the company’s current accommodation provider – in September.
Kenny Jacobs, chief marketing officer at Ryanair, said: “Ryanair’s low fares revolutionised air travel for Europe’s passengers – now with Ryanair Rooms, we’re going to transform booking accommodation.
“More and more customers are looking to Ryanair for products other than flights, and we see this as a natural progression towards Ryanair.com becoming the Amazon of air travel.
“It also echoes the change in demand from customers for different types of accommodation, which in turn will be reflected by the varied range Ryanair Rooms will offer – from five-star hotel rooms to independent homestay. We look forward to receiving proposals from interested partners who want to help us disrupt the travel industry once more.”
