Ryanair, a leading airline company headquartered in Dublin has chosen Vodafone Business as its technology communications partner in Europe. The new seven-year agreement builds on an existing relationship and focuses on the experience of Ryanair’s customers in reaching their destinations on time.
The outcome-driven agreement provides services that touch every point of the Ryanair passenger journey, driving continuous innovation to deliver digital transformation, business growth and operational efficiencies. Under the agreement, Vodafone Business will transform Ryanair’s information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure using every part of Vodafone Business’ solutions - including cloud, unified communications, software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), Internet of Things (IoT) and security services.
Vodafone Business will support 300 Ryanair sites and some 153 million passengers across 40 countries, meaning that up to 95 percent of Ryanair’s telecoms will be managed directly by Vodafone Business. This includes the hosting of its core infrastructure that maintains Ryanair’s core business processes from online booking, passenger boarding and in-flight transactions, to training centres, offices and data centres.
