Ryanair and the Erasmus Student Network celebrated the launch of their fourth year partnership. Delivered as part of Ryanair’s customer care improvements, this partnership offers Erasmus students a dedicated ESN booking platform on the Ryanair.com website, where they can avail of 10% flight discounts on 4 one-way flights and a free checked-in bag with every flight booked.

Since 2017, ESN students have travelled with even lower fares across the Ryanair network with Italy and Spain being the most popular destinations over the last three years with over 95,000 bookings made on flights to Italy and 80,000 to Spain.

The fourth year of the exclusive partnership is now live on the Ryanair.com website, and students from over 500 Universities across almost 50 countries can now avail of these exclusive travel discounts with Ryanair.

Matthew Krasa, Ryanair’s Head of Public Affairs said: “Ryanair and ESN have done more than any other organisations to promote European student mobility over the past three decades. We are pleased to launch the fourth year of our exclusive partnership with the Erasmus Student Network, offering university students across Europe a range of exclusive flight offers, free bags and tailored discounts to suit their budget on our Erasmus Student Network dedicated platform. ESN students have travelled on even lower fares since the beginning of the ESN partnership in 2017, with over 175,000 booking made to travel to Italy and Spain, the most popular destinations. We hope many more ESN students will avail of these fantastic discounts over the coming months and years.

Any Erasmus student with a valid ESN card can sign up via the “MyRyanair” registration service and save even more while they travel on Europe’s biggest airline with the widest route network and the lowest fares.”

Kostantinos Giannidis, President of ESN said: "In times where student mobility is facing many challenges due to the global pandemic, Erasmus Student Network and Ryanair are continuing providing incentives to students to make their mobility experience more affordable. Thanks to Ryanair and this partnership thousands of Erasmus+ students benefit from extra services and discounts. Ryanair understands the values of the Erasmus+ program in building a more inclusive society and it's an active contributor to the Erasmus Generation."

The Congress on Saturday said that Sonia Gandhi has made organisational changes after authorisation from the party's working committee and has set in motion the process of election of the next party president by constituting an election authority. Asked about the organisational changes made by Gandhi and the subsequent reported statements by some leaders who had written to her over party reforms, Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said he had not seen a single statement by any Congress leader on the issue and cannot comment on that.

On whether the organisational changes had Rahul Gandhi's imprint, he said Rahul Gandhi was unanimously elected in an AICC session, but post the 2019 verdict he chose to take moral responsibility and resigned. "Crores and crores of Congress workers and unanimously all leaders including the ones that you mentioned in the meeting of the CWC expressed complete confidence in the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi and in fact some of them urged him to take over as Congress president," he said at an online press conference.

However, he said, it was not for him to comment on the issue at this juncture "for Congress president Sonia Gandhi has constituted an election authority and has set the process of election of the President in motion". On being pressed further on the issue, Surjewala recalled Sonia Gandhi's remarks where she had said that "'our job is to fight the Modi government and its anti-people policies and not fight with each other' and all of us are working towards that single minded goal, like Arjuna used to only look at the eye of the fish".

To queries on the organisational changes made by Sonia Gandhi, he said change is part of a continuous process and in one voice the Congress Working Committee had decided that she should make all organisational changes afresh, based on which she made these changes. "A lot of new people have got a chance, many old people of the party have got a chance, a lot of colleagues who were already there have got more strength to continue serving the organisation," he said.

In a major organisational reshuffle, Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Friday dropped Ghulam Nabi Azad, Motilal Vora, Ambika Soni and Mallikarjun Kharge as AICC general secretaries, reconstituted the CWC and appointed P Chidambaram, Randeep Surjewala, Tariq Anwar and Jitendra Singh as its regular members. Gandhi also formed a six-member special committee to assist her in organisational matters, apart from reconstituting the central election authority of the AICC with Madhusudan Mistry as its chairman, Rajesh Misra, Krishna Byre Gowda, S Jothimani and Arvinder Singh Lovely as its members.

Gandhi, 73, left for the United States on Saturday for a routine medical check-up, sources close to her said. She would return in the last week of September and would miss more than half of the Monsoon Session of Parliament.

She is accompanied by Rahul Gandhi, who is expected to return within a week, they said. Her medical check-up was overdue and was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sources said.

She had cleared the Congress' organisational restructuring before departing for her medical check-up.
