About Ryanair
Ryanair is an Irish low-cost airline headquartered in Dublin. It does not run a hub in the traditional sense. Aircraft are stationed at bases all over Europe, London Stansted being one of the biggest, and routes are flown point to point, often to secondary airports. The network covers most of Europe and extends to Morocco and a few other nearby countries. There is one economy cabin, and bags, seats and priority boarding are optional extras. The wider Ryanair group also includes Buzz, Lauda Europe and Malta Air. Ryanair is not in any alliance.
Ryanair availability through third-party channels can be uneven, so it is worth stating plainly: Ryanair fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates, and not otherwise. You search live in the IATA.co booking portal or through the flights API and pay from a prepaid balance. Read the fare rules shown before you confirm.
Ryanair airline codes explained
Ryanair uses the two-letter IATA airline code FR and the three-letter ICAO code RYR. The IATA code FR is the one shown on tickets, fare displays and booking screens, while the ICAO code RYR is used in air traffic control and flight planning.
Ryanair is a low-cost carrier, based in Ireland, operating mainly from Dublin (DUB). It is not part of a global airline alliance.
Booking Ryanair fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book Ryanair fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live FR fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. Ryanair results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
Search Ryanair (FR) through the flights API
Developers and agencies can run the same Ryanair search from their own site, app or back office through the IATA.co flights API. Filter a search by the carrier code FR and read the fares back as JSON, then book from the same prepaid balance. See the flights API and the API docs for the full reference.
