Ryanair has revealed it carried over one million Erasmus students through its partnership with the Erasmus Student Network.
The collaboration supports student mobility across more than 235 destinations. Registered ESN students receive a 10% discount on four one-way flights or two round-trips. They also obtain a free 20kg checked bag on each booking. Thousands of students use these benefits for Christmas travel home.
Ryanair’s Director of Comms Jade Kirwan shared “We’re pleased to see that over 1 million Erasmus students have benefited from our exclusive partnership with Erasmus Student Network (ESN), which supports low-fare mobility for Erasmus students across Europe for their educational exchanges. With thousands of students expected to travel home this Christmas to spend the festive season with family and friends, registered ESN students can now book discounted Ryanair flights across our industry-leading network of over 235 destinations through the dedicated Erasmus student platform at Ryanair.com.”
Rui Vinha, ESN Treasurer shared “Reaching one million bookings demonstrates the impact of the partnership with Ryanair on the international student community and its ongoing importance during their mobility period. Whether students are travelling to their new home, going back, or taking the chance to discover new places, for nine years, the joint efforts of ESN and Ryanair have continued to positively impact students’ lives, which is our ultimate goal.”
