Ryanair to launch new media website

As part of its new communications platform, Ryanair is to launch a series of media relations initiatives over the coming months, including a dedicated media website.

The low-cost carrier has also appointed Robin Kiely as its new head of communications. A former journalist, Mr Kiely joined Ryanair in April 2012 as communications manager and succeeds Stephen McNamara, who joins the Irish Rugby Football Union after over four years at Ryanair.

Ryanair will now recruit a new communications manager to replace Mr Kiely. Full details are available at www.ryanair.com/en/careers/job. Closing date for applications is Wednesday.

Mr McNamara said Ryanair was well known for offering rapid promotions to those who were ambitious and professional in what they did and Mr Kiely’s promotion to head of communications was well-deserved.

Mr Kiely said he looked forward to improving the company’s communication with Europe’s media and to keeping its 80 million passengers informed of the latest Ryanair news and developments as the company continued to grow into 2013 and beyond.
