Ryanair (RYAAY) announced on Friday that it will close its prime member offering from November, following an eight-month trial period during which the European airline noted that the membership cost more than it generated.
Chief Marketing Officer Dara Brady said that to date, Ryanair has signed up over 55,000 prime members, generating over €4.4 million ($5.1 million) in subscription fees.
