Irish budget airline Ryanair has plan to deal with oversized luggage. airline could increase bonus it pays to staff for spotting bags that are too big. Ryanair staff currently get "gate bag bonus" of €1.50 ($1.75) passenger. This bonus is capped at about €80 ($94) month. Ryanair's chief executive officer (CEO) wants to remove monthly cap. He hopes removing it will mean fewer large bags going on aircraft. The CEO said: "We're already struggling with that amount of baggage. That's one of reasons we are so aggressive about [cutting] [number] of passengers with excess baggage." Passengers must pay fee of up to €75 for oversized bags and suitcases.
Ryanair's CEO said being stricter with baggage was necessary, even though most people follow rules. He said more than 99.9 per cent of passengers have luggage that fits within size limits. Ryanair said most people knew about company's baggage rules because they are clear to see on different websites. company said: "Our bag policies and options are well understood, and we remind customers of this when booking, before they travel, and on their boarding pass. very small proportion of customers who do not [follow our rules] will be charged at airport." The company hopes problem of oversized luggage will disappear within few years.
