Ryanair announces it will offer child-free flights

Budget airline Ryanair's announcement that it will ban children on some popular routes. The Irish airline has created a stir by declaring that it will introduce "child-free flights" by October this year via a press release on their website today.

“When it comes to children we all love our own but would clearly prefer to avoid other people’s little monsters when travelling,” Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara said.



“While half our passengers would like us to divide our cabins up into ‘adult’ and ‘family’ areas it is not operationally possible due to our free seating policy, with optional priority boarding.

“However, with clear demand for ‘child free’ flights Ryanair will introduce child free flights on high frequency routes from the start of our winter schedule in October.”
