Ryanair’s Director of Communications, Jade Kirwan, said:
“Ryanair is pleased to launch our Summer 2026 schedule for Kerry, offering 7 routes to exciting holiday hotspots like Alicante and Faro, as well as city breaks destinations like Manchester and London, providing our customers in the South-West with unbeatable low-fare choice for their Summer 2026 getaways.”
9 BASED AIRCRAFT, 118 ROUTES & 4.3M SEATS ACROSS 7 AIRPORTS AND 3 BASES
Ryanair, Europe and Croatia’s No.1 airline, today (Wed, 18 Feb) announced its biggest-ever Croatia Summer schedule, with 9 based aircraft (US$900M investment), 118 routes – including 2 new routes from Dubrovnik to Budapest and Gdansk – and traffic growth of +5% to 4.3 million seats, delivering more choice and even lower fares for Croatia’s citizens and visitors across 7 airports (including 3 bases in Dubrovnik, Zadar and Zagreb).
This record growth supports Croatia’s strong post‑Covid recovery, which is underpinned by competitive airport costs, allowing Ryanair to deliver expanded year‑round connectivity – unlike in other EU markets such as Austria, France and Germany, where regressive aviation taxes and high airport charges have blocked traffic recovery and growth. Thanks to competitive charges, Croatia’s airports are benefiting from the reallocation of Ryanair traffic from other high-cost markets.
Ryanair’s record Croatia Summer 2026 Schedule will deliver:
- 9 based aircraft (US$900M investment)
- 4.3 million seats (+5% growth)
- 118 routes, including 2 new from Dubrovnik to Budapest and Gdansk
- Over 850 weekly flights
- Support over 3,500 jobs in Croatia
Croatia has benefited from significant traffic and year-round tourism development post-Covid. However, to unlock further growth and investment, Ryanair calls on the Croatian Govt. to remove the outdated CAA Tax, which unnecessarily increases access costs for passengers which can be funded by scrapping wasteful PSOs that subsidise a handful of flights. This would ensure Croatia remains an attractive and cost‑competitive market for future growth, supporting enhanced connectivity and underpinning year-round tourism, employment, and economic development across the country.
To celebrate Ryanair’s record Summer 2026 schedule in Croatia, Ryanair has launched a limited 3‑day seat sale with fares from just €29.99 only on the Ryanair app.
Speaking from Zagreb, Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer, Jason McGuinness said:
“As Europe and Croatia’s No.1 airline, Ryanair is pleased to announce our biggest‑ever Croatia Summer schedule, delivering 4.3 million seats (+5% growth), operating 118 routes – including exciting new routes from Dubrovnik to Budapest and Gdansk. This record schedule is underpinned by 9 based aircraft (US$900M investment) across our 3 bases in Dubrovnik, Zadar, and Zagreb, and delivers vital year-round connectivity for Croatia’s citizens and visitors, while supporting over 3,500 jobs.
Croatia continues to achieve strong traffic and tourism growth thanks to its competitive access, which have enabled Ryanair to expand low‑fare connectivity for Croatian citizens and visitors and tackle the issue of seasonality across the country. These competitive conditions have allowed Croatian airports to benefit from the reallocation of capacity from high-cost markets such as Austria, France and Germany.
However, to unlock further growth and investment from airlines, Croatia must maintain this competitive advantage. Ryanair calls on the Croatian Govt. to stop wasting taxpayers’ money on a handful of PSO routes and instead use the money to abolish the outdated CAA Tax which unnecessarily increases costs for airlines and passengers on all routes. This measure would continue to strengthen Croatia’s position as an attractive, pro‑growth market, supporting increased year-round connectivity, tourism, employment, and economic development across the country.
To celebrate our record Summer 2026 schedule, Ryanair is launching a 3‑day seat sale with fares from just €29.99, available exclusively on the Ryanair app.”
US$1.1BN INVESTMENT, 6.5M LOW-FARE SEATS & 67 ROUTES (5 NEW)
Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (17 Feb) announced it will base an 11th aircraft at Budapest for S26 bringing Ryanair’s total investment in the Airport to US$1.1bn. This additional aircraft will underpin a record 6.5m annual seats, 67 routes (including 5 exciting new services to Dubrovnik, Krakow, Lamezia, Marrakesh, and Newcastle) and support more than 4,600 local jobs – including 330 highly‑paid local pilot and cabin crew jobs.
This record investment is thanks to the Hungarian Government’s decision to abolish aviation taxes, since which, Ryanair has grown its traffic at Budapest by +15%, improving low-fare connectivity for Hungarian citizens, boosting inbound tourism/trade and creating thousands of jobs.
Ryanair’s Budapest Summer ‘26 schedule will deliver:
- 11 based a/c (incl. 6 Boeing 737 8-200 “gamechanger” aircraft) – US$1.1bn invest.
- 67 routes, incl. 5 new – Dubrovnik, Krakow, Lamezia, Marrakesh & Newcastle
- 6.5m low-fare seats p.a. – 300k (+5%) additional seats
- Support over 4,600 jobs, incl. 330 highly‑paid aviation professionals
- Europe’s lowest fares and widest choice for Hungarian citizens & inbound visitors
However, the benefits of abolishing the aviation tax in stimulate low-fare traffic growth now risk being undermined by successive unjustified charge increases at Budapest Airport (+10% since 2024 alone). Ryanair calls on the Hungarian Government as the majority owner of Budapest Airport to replicate it’s pro‑growth aviation policies at the Airport by immediately reducing airport charges. If competitive airport costs are restored, Ryanair stands ready to accelerate its investment in Hungary – increasing annual traffic by +50% to more than10m seats p.a., basing 5 additional aircraft (16 total, US$1.6bn invest.), and creating 150 new highly-paid aviation jobs (480 total) across Budapest, Balaton, and Debrecen.
To celebrate Ryanair’s 11th based aircraft and 5 new routes to/from Budapest in S26, the airline has launched a 3-day seat sale with 100,000 seats at fares starting from just 11,500 HUF, available to book now via the Ryanair app.
Speaking from Budapest, Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer, Jason McGuinness said:
“Ryanair is delighted to announce the addition of an 11th aircraft to our Budapest base for S26 bringing our total investment at the Airport to US$1.1bn – supporting over 4,600 jobs, including 330+ highly-paid pilot and cabin crew positions. This year, Ryanair will operate a record 6.5m seats across 67 routes, including 5 exciting new routes to Dubrovnik, Krakow, Lamezia-Terme, Marrakesh, and Newcastle – delivering unbeatable low fares for Hungarian citizens, visitors and businesses.
This additional aircraft and record schedule is thanks to the Hungarian Government’s decision to abolish aviation taxes from January 2025, since which Ryanair has grown by +15% at Budapest Airport. However, the ability for Ryanair to continue investing in Hungary is subject to the Government (Budapest Airport’s majority owner) replicating its pro‑growth aviation policies by immediately reducing airport charges which have increased by +10% since 2024.
Ryanair calls on the Hungarian Government to immediately reduce Budapest Airport’s excessive charges to ensure it remains competitive with neighbouring airports in Poland, Slovakia, Croatia who continue to lower airport charges. If competitive airport costs are restored, Ryanair could rapidly accelerate its investment in Hungary and increase annual traffic by +50% to more than 10m seats p.a., base 5 additional aircraft (16 total, US$1.6bn invest.), and create 150 new highly-paid aviation jobs (480 total) across Budapest, Balaton, and Debrecen by 2032
To celebrate our 11th based aircraft and 5 new Summer ‘26 routes, Ryanair has launched a 3day seat sale with 100,000 seats at fares starting from just 11,500 HUF, exclusively on the Ryanair app.”
Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (Tue, 17 Feb) welcomed the decision of the Dublin Circuit Court awarding damages of €15,000 against a Dublin man who forced over 160 passengers and 6 crew to divert to Porto after he assaulted passengers and crew onboard a Ryanair flight from Dublin to Lanzarote.
Ryanair is committed to ensuring that all passengers and crew travel in a comfortable environment free of unnecessary disruption caused by a tiny number of unruly passengers. Ryanair has a strict zero tolerance policy towards passenger misconduct and will continue to take action to combat unruly passenger behaviour on aircraft for the benefit of the vast majority of passengers who do not disrupt flights.
A Ryanair spokesperson said:
“We welcome the Dublin Circuit Court’s judgement awarding €15,000 in damages against a Dublin man following the diversion of a Lanzarote flight from Dublin to Porto which was diverted due to his disruptive behaviour. This judgment reinforces the serious consequences faced by passengers who engage in disruptive behaviour which includes travel bans and offload fines, under Ryanair’s zero‑tolerance policy. We hope this ruling will further deter disruptive behaviour on flights so that both passengers and crew can travel without having to deal with this reprehensible behaviour.”
Ryanair, Albania’s only low-fare airline, today (Tues, 17 Feb) announced that the first 35 of 70 new cabin crew set to join the airline at its new 4 aircraft Tirana base from the end of March, have passed their cabin crew training with a 100% success rate. This shows the strength of Ryanair’s industry-leading cabin crew training, led by the airline’s experienced instructors, as well as the dedication and high-standard professionalism of the trainees.
This Summer, Ryanair will operate 43 routes to/from Tirana, including 20 new routes like Alghero, Baden-Baden, Eindhoven, Genoa, Memmingen, Parma & Wroclaw, delivering 50% traffic growth and 4m pax in 2026. Over the next 5 years, Ryanair will continue to invest and grow in Albania, basing up to 6 B737 aircraft ($600m invest.) in Tirana, growing to over 6m passengers p.a., operating over 60 routes, supporting over 4,000 jobs by 2030, provided always that the Albanian Govt continues its zero aviation tax policy, and Tirana Airport maintains its low access costs via growth incentive schemes, to stimulate rapid traffic and tourism growth in Tirana.
Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
“These results from our first 35 trainees – a perfect 100% pass rate – shows the extraordinary talent and work ethic we’ve found in Albania. And they’re only the first half of the 70 new cabin crew we’re proud to welcome to our new 4 aircraft Tirana base this year. As Albania maintains its low‑cost, pro‑growth aviation policy, Ryanair will continue to invest, bringing more aircraft, more routes, more visitors and more well‑paid jobs to Tirana. This is just the beginning of a long‑term partnership that will transform air travel and tourism across Albania.
Ryanair continues to invest heavily in Albania, ensuring world‑class training, unbeatable low fares, and the strongest route network ever offered at Tirana Airport.”
RECORD SCHEDULE: 3 A/C, 32 ROUTES (2 NEW) & 3.3M PAX P.A. (+21%)
Ryanair, Europe and Italy’s No.1 airline, today (Thurs, 12 Feb) announced its record-breaking Summer 2026 schedule at Turin Airport which will see a third based aircraft (+1 vs Summer 2026), over 380 weekly flights across 32 routes, including 2 new exciting destinations to Sofia and Tirana, and 3.3m passengers p.a. (+21%).
Ryanair has also added extra flights on over 10 popular existing routes, including Lamezia Terme, Madrid, Malaga, Malta, Marrakech, Reggio Calabria, Siviglia and Trapani-Marsala, offering customers across the Piedmont Region even more choice at Europe’s lowest fares, further positioning the Airport as a key gateway for leisure and business travel in Northern Italy. This significant investment and growth further strengthen Ryanair’s unrivalled low-fare connectivity for residents of the Piedmont region and visitors and supports over 2.500 local jobs.
Ryanair’s Turin Summer 2026 schedule will deliver:
· 3 based aircraft (US$300M invest.), incl. 1 new for S26
· 32 routes, incl. 2 new to Sofia & Tirana
· Incr. freq. on 10+ popular existing routes, incl. Lamezia Terme, Madrid, Malaga, Malta, Marrakech, Reggio Calabria, Siviglia and Trapani-Marsala
· 3.3M passengers p.a. (+21%)
· Supp. over 2.500 local jobs in the Piedmont Region
Ryanair’s low-fare model consistently delivers significant traffic, tourism and jobs growth, supported by competitive charges and efficient airport operations. However, Italy’s regressive Municipal Tax continues to damage Italy’s competitiveness and limit growth potential. This is in stark contrast to competing EU countries like Sweden, Slovakia, and Albania, and other Italian regions such as Abruzzo, Calabria, Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Sicily & Emilia-Romagna, which are actively cutting aviation taxes or scrapping the Municipal Tax entirely to stimulate traffic, tourism and jobs growth.
Ryanair calls on the Italian Govt to follow the lead of these proactive EU States and scrap the Municipal Tax at all Italian airports. If removed, Ryanair will respond with significant growth for Italy, incl.an additional 40 aircraft (+US$4bn invest.), 20m passengers p.a., 250 new routes, and 15,000 jobs throughout Italy.
To celebrate the launch of Ryanair’s record Summer 2026 schedule for Turin, the airline has launched a seat sale with fares from just €29.99 available to book now via the Ryanair app (subject to availability).
Fabrizio Francioni, Head of Communications Italy Ryanair, said:
“Ryanair’s record Summer 2026 schedule for Milan reinforces our continued commitment to Piedmont region and Italy. This summer Ryanair will base 1 new aircraft in Milan, bringing our total Turin-based fleet to 3 aircraft – a $300m invest, and will operate 33 routes (2 new), delivering +21% traffic growth to 3.2m annual passengers, with unrivalled low-fare choice and connectivity for citizens and visitors to Lombardy.
We’ve worked closely with the SAGAT teams to make this growth possible – proving that competitive conditions and efficient operations are key to unlocking real growth that enhances both international and domestic low-fare connectivity, as well as inbound tourism.
To further build on this success and unlock even greater opportunities for Italian aviation, tourism and jobs, Ryanair again calls on the Italian Govt to scrap the Municipal Tax across all Italian airports, to stimulate further traffic, tourism, and jobs growth. If these anti-growth constraints are removed, Ryanair will respond with an additional 40 aircraft (+US$4bn investment), 20m additional annual passengers, 250 new routes, and 15,000 jobs throughout Italy.”
Paolo Papale, Aviation Development Director of Torino Airport, said:
“Ryanair is a key player in the growth of our airport. We recorded a very significant increase in traffic during the ongoing winter season, surpassing in 2025 the record of 5 million passengers handled. This is certainly also thanks to Ryanair, which since November 2025 has based a third aircraft and opened new destinations, while increasing frequencies on a very broad range of routes.
Now, for the summer season, we are delighted that Ryanair is launching services on two new international routes — Tirana in Albania and Sofia in Bulgaria — strengthening its presence in Eastern European markets, and boosting its offer on destinations for which there is not only considerable demand, but which also represent key catchment areas for inbound tourism to our region.”
39 ROUTES (INCLUDING 3 NEW) AND 5 BASED AIRCRAFT (USD 500M INVESTMENT)
Ryanair, Poland’s and Europe’s largest airline, today (12 February 2026) announced its summer schedule from Poznań, featuring 39 routes, including three exciting new destinations – Podgorica, Shannon and Tirana – offering even more options for holiday and weekend travel.
This summer, five Ryanair aircraft will be based at Poznań–Ławica Airport, further strengthening the airport’s position as an important departure point for both leisure and business travellers in Poland. The expansion of the base will bring additional benefits to the region – increased tourism flows, new jobs, and a further boost to the local economy.
The Poznań base will also include two state‑of‑the‑art Boeing 737‑8200 “Gamechanger” aircraft, which generate up to 40% less noise, consume up to 16% less fuel, and offer 4% more seats compared to previous models. This translates into more efficient and environmentally friendly operations at Poznań Airport.
Ryanair’s Summer ’26 Schedule for Poznań Includes:
• 39 routes, including 3 new destinations – Podgorica, Shannon and Tirana
• 5 based aircraft (4 scheduled + 1 charter)
• USD 500 million investment
• Over 2.1 million passengers annually
To celebrate the launch of the Summer ’26 season for Poznań, Ryanair has prepared a dedicated seat sale, with fares starting from PLN 126.
The offer is available until 19 February, exclusively via the Ryanair app and website.
Michał Kaczmarzyk, Buzz CEO (Ryanair Group), said:
We are delighted to unveil our Summer 2026 schedule from Poznań, featuring three fantastic new routes – Podgorica, Shannon and Tirana. This coming season, we will base five aircraft in Poznań, including two Boeing 737‑8200 ‘Gamechanger’ aircraft, which offer more seats, lower fuel consumption and – crucially for Poznań – up to 40% less noise emissions. This investment and the expansion of our presence in Poznań demonstrate just how important the Wielkopolska region is for us. We hope that the new destinations and increased flight availability will encourage passengers to book their summer getaways.
To mark the launch of the Summer ’26 season in Poznań, we have prepared a dedicated seat sale, with fares starting from just PLN 126. The offer is available until 19 February exclusively via the Ryanair app and website.”
Grzegorz Bykowski, CEO of Poznań – Ławica, said:
“We are very pleased that our most important partner continues to strengthen its position at the fastest‑growing airport in Poland. Compared to the last year before the COVID‑19 pandemic, traffic in Poznań has increased by 75% – the best result in Poland and one of the best in all of Europe. The more than 4.1 million passengers handled at Ławica last year clearly shows that people in Poznań and the wider Wielkopolska region want to travel.
Our focus now is on maintaining this momentum, and the availability of attractive summer routes offered by Ryanair is an important step towards that goal. Not only sunny Spain, Italy or Croatia, but now also destinations such as Albania and Montenegro are becoming appealing summer holiday options for travellers from Poznań and the region.
Moreover, basing the most modern and quietest aircraft from the Boeing 737 family in Poznań helps ensure that the airport is no longer seen as a troublesome neighbour.”
