Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (Thurs, 19th Mar) announced its record Summer ‘26 schedule for Sweden, delivering
over 4.4m passengers p.a., 8 based aircraft and 83 routes (incl. 5 new) across 6 Swedish airports, supporting over 3,500 local
jobs and reinforcing Ryanair’s long-term commitment to growth, traffic, and low fares in Sweden. This follows the Govt’s
decision to abolish the Aviation Tax from 1 July 2025 – a move which has transformed Sweden’s connectivity, jobs, and
tourism.

Ryanair’s Sweden Summer ‘26 schedule will deliver:

• 8 based aircraft (6 in Arlanda, 2 in Gothenburg) – $800M investment
• 83 tot. routes, incl. 5 new: Arlanda-Trapani; Gothenburg-Malta & Porto; Malmö-London & Warsaw
• Over 620 flights per week
• Over 4.4m passengers p.a. (+15%)
• Support over 3,500 jobs

Since the Swedish Govt. scrapped the Aviation Tax in Jul’25, Ryanair has led Sweden’s traffic growth with stronger expansion
than any other airline with a $200M investment, incl. 2 new based aircraft (1 in Arlanda & 1 in Gothenburg), driving tourism,
jobs, and regional development. Ryanair alone has delivered 36% of all market growth in Sweden since the tax was abolished,
while local carriers such as SAS continue to prioritise Copenhagen and leave Sweden with reduced capacity under a hub model
aligned with its future owner, Air France-KLM. SAS is still operating at only 85% of its pre‑Covid capacity in Sweden,
Norwegian remains at just 78%, while Ryanair is at 175% of its pre‑Covid capacity, proving that Ryanair is the only airline
truly restoring and growing Swedish connectivity.

Ryanair has shown its strong commitment to Sweden’s development and has demonstrated consistent growth when competitive
access costs are put in place. However, Swedavia’s rising airport charges (+9% in 2026) and the likely increase in the Govt’s
security fee risk undermining Sweden’s competitiveness and reversing the benefits of lower access costs. To fully unlock the
potential of the Govt’s drive for competitiveness, airport charges and security fees must be cost-efficient. With the right
conditions, Ryanair can double its Swedish traffic to 8m passengers annually, base 6 more aircraft, and create 6,000 additional
jobs by 2030 if Sweden maintains competitive access costs.

To celebrate Ryanair’s Summer 2026 schedule in Sweden and this continued growth, Ryanair has launched a 3-day seat sale
with fares from just SEK 320.

Ryanair’s CEO Eddie Wilson said:
“Sweden is one of Ryanair’s fastest-growing markets, and this record Summer ’26 schedule – 83 routes (incl. 5 new) and over
4.4m passengers across 6 airports – highlights how strongly we are investing to deliver more choice, lower fares, and enhanced
connectivity for Swedish consumers. Our $800m investment in 8 based aircraft supports over 3,500 local jobs, underlining
Ryanair’s role in driving tourism and economic growth, making Sweden one of Europe’s best-connected markets with
unbeatable low fares.

Ryanair responded immediately to the Govt’s competitiveness drive in abolishing the Aviation Tax by adding aircraft,
launching new routes, and driving tourism and economic growth. Meanwhile, local carriers such as SAS are increasingly
prioritising Copenhagen and leaving Arlanda with flat capacity as it shifts towards a hub model aligned with its new Air
France-KLM owners. In contrast, Ryanair is now doing more than any other airline to support Sweden’s direct connectivity,
competition and economic development with consistent growth at both Stockholm and Gothenburg.

However, this progress is now potentially at risk. Swedavia’s continual airport charge rises (+9% in 2026) and the reported
increase in the Govt’s security fee, risk undermining Sweden’s competitiveness and reversing the progress achieved through
lower access costs, especially at a time when legacy carriers are cutting capacity and failing to deliver growth in Sweden. To
fully capitalize on this opportunity and secure Sweden’s competitiveness in attracting aircraft capacity, airport charges and
security fees must remain cost competitive. If these conditions are secured, Ryanair is ready to double traffic to 8m passengers
annually, basing 6 more aircraft, and creating 6,000 new jobs by 2030. Sweden has a unique opportunity to lead Europe in
connectivity and growth, and Ryanair is ready to drive that investment with additional aircraft, routes, tourism opportunities
and jobs.

with fares from just SEK 320, only on the Ryanair app.”
