Since then, Ryanair has grown significantly in Ancona adding domestic and international routes, driving traffic and tourism recovery post-Covid, delivering over 230k passengers p.a. and carrying over 3.9 million passengers to date.
Ryanair is offering its Summer ’23 schedule for Ancona with 5 routes, incl. 1 new route to Catania. This schedule will see Ryanair achieve 13% growth on S22 and reach 38% market share, in the year of its “silver wedding” anniversary with Italy.
To celebrate 25 years of operations in Italy and 4 million passengers passing through Ancona Airport, customers/visitors can now book a well-deserved Summer getaway from just €25 one way for travel until Oct ‘23 on the Ryanair.com website
Speaking in Ancona, Ryanair’s Country Manager for Italy, Mauro Bolla said:
“As Italy’s favourite airline, Ryanair is excited to celebrate 25 years of operations in Italy and 4 million passengers at Ancona Airport with our Summer ’23 schedule. Over the past almost quarter century, Ryanair has grown to carry over 3.9 million passengers in/out of Ancona and has invested in connecting Italian regions with domestic flights incl. Catania, and international routes such as Brussels, Dusseldorf, London and more.
Our Summer ‘23 schedule offers 5 routes incl. 1 exciting new route to Catania offering Ancona’s customers/visitors even more choice for their summer holidays at the lowest fares in Europe. Since we first touched down in Italy 25 years ago, we have grown to become Italy’s favourite airline. As a result, we understand how important it is to connect with loved ones and that’s why we are committed to growing even further in Italy over the next 25 years.
To celebrate 25 years in Italy and 4 million passengers through Ancona Airport we are offering seats from just €25 one way for travel until Oct ’23 at www.Ryanair.com.
On behalf of Ryanair, I am therefore pleased to offer to Mr. Nicola Bombagi and Mrs Rina Maher-Bombang 2 vouchers to travel from Ancona to any destination in our network, wishing them to sit back, relax and enjoy their flight with Ryanair.
We are “Made for Italy”.
Alexander D’Orsogna, CEO of Ancona International Airport added:
“The decades-long cooperation with Ryanair is of fundamental importance for Ancona Airport and its catchment area. The close collaboration with the main European low cost company over the years has led to the opening of interesting destinations from a touristic, economic and ethnic point of view. We hope that our collaboration will become ever deeper with new routes in the future.
On this important occasion, we are pleased to announce the names of the awarded passengers: Mr. Nicola Bombagi and Mrs Rina Maher-Bombang , they are 42 and 44 years old and today they boarded the flight to FR125: they are the 4 million Ryanair passengers at Ancona Airport. Ryanair has decided to reward them with two return tickets to one of the destinations reachable from our airport. We wish them a safe journey on board Ryanair!”
Francesco Acquaroli, President of the Marche Region said:
“Today we celebrate together with the airport an important milestone marked by Ryanair, which makes us look to the future with optimism. The Region is betting heavily on the implementation of airport connections and routes, as a flywheel for the economic and tourism development of our region, on the airport as a strategic infrastructure within the intermodal hub together with the port and the airport. A great opportunity for the revitalization and growth of the whole territory. To be competitive we must be reachable, and for this reason together with ATIM and the airport we are working on promoting the territory and launching new routes.”
Marco Bruschini, president of ATIM said:
“Celebrating 24 years of Ryanair in Ancona together means working together to improve the reputation of the Marche region in international markets. The synergy between ATIM and the airport and the effort made to establish the Marche brand as a destination are beginning to bear fruit. Tourists are realizing that Marche is worth preferring as a territory of authentic traditions and unexpected excellence, and Marche Airport is increasingly the gateway to this wonderful and fascinating world.”
Ryanair, Italy’s no.1 airline, has today (23 June) announced that it has been forced to remove 1 based aircraft ($100M investment), cancel 6 routes and cut flights on a further 6 routes from Venice Marco Polo Airport for Winter ’23 due to Venice Municipality’s decision to implement an excessive and ill-thought-out 38% (€2.50) tax increase for every man, woman and child departing Venice Marco Polo Airport from 30th May 2023, adding to the €6.50 tax currently in place.
Venice Municipality’s decision to increase Venice’s access costs will stifle connectivity and growth and have a detrimental impact on Venetians and the recovering Venice tourism industry. As a result of this excessive tax increase, Ryanair has been forced to reallocate capacity from Venice Marco Polo Airport to competing cities in Spain and Portugal which do not have such a penal tax and instead offer lower access costs to stimulate tourism recovery and growth.
Ryanair calls on the Venice Municipality to urgently scrap this excessive tax increase to avoid further capacity cuts which will have a devastating impact not only on Venice Marco Polo Airport but also the City of Venice where connectivity is the lifeblood of the local tourism industry.
Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer Jason McGuinness said:
“We regret the nonsensical decision by the Venice Municipality to increase the Municipal Tax by 38% from €6.50 to €9 per passenger from 30th May which has forced Ryanair to remove one based aircraft ($100M investment) and cancel 6 routes from Venice Marco Polo Airport, incl. Alghero, Cologne, Bournemouth, Helsinki, Nuremberg, and Fuerteventura for Winter ’23.
There is no justification for this excessive tax increase which makes Venice one of the most expensive and uncompetitive cities in Europe. The Venice Municipality should be lowering, not increasing, access costs to help stimulate traffic and its fragile tourism industry which is still recovering from the pandemic.
We call on the Venice Municipality to immediately scrap this ludicrous tax increase to make Venice competitive again for the benefit of its tourism industry and ultimately the local people.”

Copenhagen Still Not Fully Recovered Post-Covid
Increased Charges Further Damage Tourism Recovery & Future Growth
Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (21 Jun) called on Copenhagen Airport to introduce lower airport charges that would drive much needed post-Covid tourism recovery and growth for Copenhagen over the next 5 years. Copenhagen has become an outlier in the EU, as well as within Denmark, with its traffic recovery lagging far behind its regional counterparts like Aalborg (+25%), Aarhus (+180%), and Billund (+120%), who are offering long-term cost certainty and incentives for all airlines to foster recovery and growth post-Covid. Copenhagen should follow the example of its regional counterparts and focus on introducing efficient incentive schemes.
Copenhagen has only restored 85% of its pre-Covid traffic due to its already high airport charges. The absence of charge reform at the Airport will only further damage Copenhagen’s connectivity, tourism recovery, growth, and economy. Even Denmark’s own national flag carrier, SAS, has reduced capacity at Copenhagen Airport (down 18%) compared to pre-Covid levels. Higher charges at Copenhagen will only make traffic recovery even more difficult and will damage Danish economic recovery.
Copenhagen Airport is national infrastructure, and as a significant shareholder with a c. 40% stake, the Danish State must ensure that Copenhagen Airport introduces a traffic recovery scheme that rewards all airlines who are willing to deliver connectivity and sustainable growth which benefits Danish citizens with more choice and lower fares, not just shareholders.
Copenhagen Airport already returned to profit in 2022 (making DKK 257M profit). Any increase in charges would be an abuse of Copenhagen Airport’s monopoly power at the expense of Danish passengers/visitors and the wider Danish economy. It is not up to Danish passengers/visitors to compensate the Airport for Covid losses, particularly when they are already suffering a cost-of-living crisis and high inflation, which Copenhagen Airport is insulated from.
Ryanair is the only major airline growing significantly in Europe, with two aircraft orders, including an order of 300 MAX 10 aircraft (which offer 21% more seats, burn 20% less fuel and emit 50% less noise) and an industry leading network of routes offering more choice and lower fares than any other airline in Denmark. Ryanair is uniquely positioned to deliver the needed connectivity and capacity to boost Copenhagen Airport back to pre-Covid levels. However, in order to deliver this much needed recovery and growth, as Ryanair has already done in other EU cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Porto and Stockholm, Copenhagen Airport must introduce lower airport charges and meaningful incentives schemes.
Ryanair’s Eddie Wilson said:
“With only 85% of its pre-Covid traffic restored, Copenhagen Airport must introduce lower airport charges and meaningful incentives schemes that support post-Covid tourism recovery and growth, and allow low-cost, efficient airlines, like Ryanair, to deliver much needed connectivity, traffic, and growth as we have done throughout Europe, including at Stockholm Arlanda, Madrid, Barcelona, and Porto Airports, where they offer competitive charges and long-term incentive schemes.
There is absolutely no logical reason for any charge increase at an airport that has already restored profits post-Covid, other than to further line its private shareholders’ pockets while Danish consumers, who are already suffering a cost-of-living crisis and high inflation, are left to foot the bill. Copenhagen Airport is part of Danish national infrastructure and as a significant shareholder with a 40% stake, the Danish State must ensure that Copenhagen Airport introduces a traffic recovery scheme that rewards all airlines who are willing to deliver connectivity and sustainable growth that benefits Danish economic recovery and consumer choice.
Ryanair is the only major airline growing significantly in Europe, with two aircraft orders, including an order for 300 MAX 10 aircraft on order and an industry leading network of routes offering more choice and lower fares than any other airline in Denmark. Ryanair calls on Copenhagen Airport to introduce lower airport charges and meaningful incentives so that we can deliver the much-needed connectivity and capacity to boost Copenhagen Airport above pre-Covid levels – rather than Denmark relying on bankrupt legacy carriers like SAS who have no hope of recovering Danish connectivity.
Ryanair guarantees to respond to lower charges at Copenhagen Airport with increased capacity and connectivity as we have demonstrated elsewhere in Europe. Copenhagen can only recover by incentivising airlines. Increasing charges will make Copenhagen even more uncompetitive with other European capitals with no prospect of post-Covid recovery for years to come as traffic migrates to more competitive major city airports.”
