The budget carrier launched Prime in March offering annual membership for £79 in the UK or €79 in Ireland. Members receive benefits such as free reserved seats, travel insurance and exclusive fare discounts every month.
Ryanair said it had signed up 55,000 members to the scheme, which generated €4.4m in subscription fees, but those travellers have so far received more than €6 million in fare discounts.
The airline on Friday (28 November) confirmed it was closing Prime to new members, although existing members will continue to receive access to monthly discounts until October 2026.
