 Ryanair's plans to cut airport check-in desks will reduce airfares for passengers, it has been claimed.
James Fremantle, a spokesman for the Air Transport Users Council, said that as long as passengers can check-in easily online, Ryanair's proposals should be a success.
"As long as it works OK and people are not left behind by the desks being shut and you can check your bags in and everything, then it is a good thing for consumers," he added.
Ryanair, which offers flights to Spain and other destinations, said earlier this week that it will axe all of its check-in desks over the next 12 months and replace them with a baggage drop zone.
