"When asked if it would allow those with foreign passports without ETAs to board if they can show another document to show they are British, the company said in a statement: Yes, we will allow a passenger to board a flight to the UK if we are satisfied that the passenger is a British national, an Irish national or is in possession of any other status in the UK, including passengers who hold an old stamp/vignette with indefinite leave to remain."
"Ryanair added that a valid or expired British passport and a certificate of entitlement to the right of abode were acceptable proof of being British. It added that from 25 February airlines are required to check that passengers of non-visa countries eligible for ETA have one. If passengers do not have an ETA, we are required to check any other document that may allow them to enter the UK."
New Home Office rules require dual nationals to hold a British passport or an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) to board flights to the UK from 25 February. Many dual nationals living in Europe feared disrupted travel and cancelled family visits because children born abroad or others did not have British passports. Ryanair said it will accept alternative documents proving British nationality or UK status to permit boarding. Acceptable proof includes valid or expired British passports, certificates of entitlement to the right of abode, and old stamps or vignettes showing indefinite leave to remain. Airlines must check ETAs for passengers from non-visa countries and otherwise verify alternative documents.
