RYANAIR LAUNCHES 6 NEW LONDON ROUTES FOR SUMMER 2023
17 Jan 2023
Ryanair, the UK’s No. 1 airline for low fares and reliability, today (17 Jan) announced its new Summer’23 schedule for London – operating over 180 routes from London Stansted, Gatwick and Luton airports – incl. 6 new routes to Asturias, Belfast, Cornwall, Edinburgh, Klagenfurt and Leipzig.
Ryanair’s London’23 schedule will deliver:
– 57 based aircraft (incl. 14 “Gamechangers”)
– $5.7bn investment in London & SES tourism
– 180+ routes incl. 6 new – Asturias, Belfast, Cornwall, Edinburgh, Klagenfurt and Leipzig
– 3,000 weekly flights (+10% vs S22)
– Increased frequencies on 30+ sunshine routes, incl. Malaga, Nantes and Mallorca
– Over 1,600 direct jobs
In Summer ‘23, Ryanair will operate over 3,000 weekly flights to/from Stansted, Gatwick and Luton Airports with 10% growth vs Summer ‘22, giving London customers/visitors unbeatable choice at the lowest fares when booking their much-deserved Summer ‘23 holidays. This growth is underpinned by Ryanair’s $5.7bn investment in London, with 57 based aircraft, supporting over 1,600 direct crew and engineering jobs.
On top of these new sunshine holiday destination for Summer ‘23, Ryanair has responded to the UK Govt’s 50% APD cut for domestic travel from April ’23 with the opening of new domestic routes to/from London, incl. Belfast, Cornwall and Edinburgh. However, this 50% reduction ignores international connectivity which is fundamental for the growth of the UK’s economy and tourism. Ryanair calls again on the UK Govt to fully abolish APD for all travel immediately, which would not only promote tourism, but support much needed connectivity to the UK – an island-based economy on the edge of Europe.
In London, Ryanair CEO, Michael O’Leary said:
“Ryanair is pleased to bring even more choice to London citizens and visitors for Summer ‘23. Our schedule has grown 10% on last Summer, with 3,000 weekly flights scheduled across 180+ routes, incl. 6 new sunshine destinations and increased frequencies on 30+ other popular routes likeBerlin, Malaga, Mallorca, Nantes and Palma.
While the halving of APD on domestic flights from Apr ‘23 has allowed Ryanair to add more domestic routes to our UK schedule for Summer ’23 – incl. London Stansted to Belfast, Cornwall and Edinburgh – if we are to continue to grow and drive traffic/tourism recovery for the UK, Prime Minister Sunak should immediately scrap APD for all travel and provide incentives for airlines like Ryanair to stimulate growth and recovery for the UK, incl. London.
To celebrate Ryanair’s new London routes for Summer ‘23, we are launching a special seat sale with fares from just £29.99 for travel between Apr and Oct ‘23, which must be booked by midnight 19 Jan on Ryanair.com.”

The addition of one new based aircraft at Charleroi (from 15 to 16) for 2023 – another $100m investment – shows Ryanair’s commitment to growth and recovery for Belgium, which has consistently enjoyed Ryanair’s efficient, low-cost operations over the last 25+ years.
As confirmed last week, Ryanair will not re-open its Zaventem base for S2023 due to Zaventem’s decision to raise prices by 11% in 2023, while many other EU airports are lowering prices to recover traffic lost during Covid (or are freezing charges to stimulate passenger growth). Ryanair will continue to operate 12 high frequency routes to/from Zaventem on aircraft based outside Belgium in its Brussels S2023 schedule.
Brussels’ citizens/visitors can now book a well-deserved Summer break enjoying Ryanair’s lowest fares to the widest choice of destinations, incl. these exciting 5 new routes to/from Charleroi for Summer 2023 on Ryanair.com.

This new 2023 schedule will see 1 new based aircraft (16 total) in Charleroi, representing a further $100m investment in Brussels ($1.6bn total) as Ryanair continues to deliver more traffic, more jobs, and lower fares than any other airline for Belgium.
We regret that we cannot share good news for Zaventem as a result of their crazy decision to increase hike prices by 11% from April 2023. Customers can still book Ryanair’s low fares on 12 routes to/from Brussels Zaventem on aircraft based outside Belgium.
We look forward to welcoming millions of Belgian customers/visitors onboard our flights to/from both Brussels Charleroi and Zaventem Airports this Summer.”

11 Jan 2023
DUE TO 11% ZAVENTEM PRICE INCREASE12 RYR ZAVENTEM ROUTES WILL CONTINUE ON NON-BASED AIRCRAFT
Contrary to recent speculation, Ryanair today (11 Jan) confirmed that it will not re-open its Brussels Zaventem base in S23 due to Zaventem Airport’s decision to increase prices by 11% from April 2023. Unlike many other EU airports who are lowering prices to recover traffic lost during the Covid pandemic or freezing charges to stimulate passenger growth, Brussels Zaventem has chosen to jack up prices yet again by 11% for airlines and passengers from April 2023 making it even more uncompetitive compared to other Belgian and EU airports. Ryanair confirmed that it will still operate 12 routes to/from Brussels Zaventem for S23 on aircraft which are based outside Belgium as follows;
Ryanair flights to/from Charleroi will be unaffected by this decision not to re-open the Zaventem base. Ryanair expects to operate 109 routes to/from Brussels Charleroi for S23.
Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
“Despite recent rumours, we will not be re-opening our Brussels Zaventem base in S23 due to Zaventem Airport’s decision to increase prices by 11% for airlines and passengers from April 2023. However, customers can still book Ryanair’s low fares on 12 Zaventem routes that will continue to operate to/from Brussels Zaventem for S23 on aircraft based outside Belgium.
Ryanair’s flights on 109 routes to/from Charleroi will be unaffected by this decision and we look forward to welcoming millions of Belgian customers/visitors onboard our flights to/from both Brussels Charleroi and Zaventem Airports this Summer.”
