Ryanair will discontinue its 'Prime' subscription from 28 November, ending an eight-month trial that attracted 55,000 sign-ups. Existing members are grandfathered and will retain exclusive fare offers until October 2026; the airline said the programme produced negative financial results and the operational effort was unjustified.

Briefing
Key facts: the eight-month trial attracted 55,000 members, will close to new sign-ups from 28 Nov, and existing members keep benefits until Oct 2026; Ryanair cites negative financial results and un‑justified operational effort.
The move signals a pullback from subscription-based ancillary strategies as Ryanair pursues capacity and network reductions, consistent with its recent German winter schedule cuts and Spanish network scaling-back.
It underscores Ryanair's emphasis on cost control and competitive positioning alongside other corporate actions, such as its legal challenge to EU state aid for SAS.
