US$600M INVESTMENT, 15% GROWTH, 3 NEW ROUTES

Ryanair, the UK’s No.1 low fares airline, today (Thurs, 4 Dec) announced a sixth based aircraft at Liverpool John Lennon Airport for Summer 2026, representing a US$600m investment from Ryanair in the Northwest. This additional aircraft will deliver +250,000 additional seats (+15% growth), 3 exciting new routes to Marrakesh, Tirana, and Warsaw, and extra flights on 11 popular existing routes to Alicante, Barcelona, Faro, Ibiza, Kaunas, Kraków, Malaga, Malta, Porto, Reus, and Sofia. Ryanair’s record Summer 2026 schedule offers customers in Liverpool and the Northwest even more choice at Europe’s lowest fares whilst also supporting over 2,000 local jobs.

Ryanair’s Liverpool Summer 2026 schedule will deliver:

• 34 routes, incl. 3 new routes to Marrakesh, Tirana, & Warsaw
• 6 based aircraft (+1 vs. S25 – US$600m investment in Liverpool)
• Increased freq. on 11 routes
• 2m seats incl. +250,000 (+15%) additional seats
• Liverpool traffic grows to over 2.4m passengers p.a.

To celebrate Ryanair’s sixth aircraft and 3 new routes at Liverpool in Summer 2026, the airline has launched a limited time seat sale with fares from £29.99 available only at Ryanair.com.

Ryanair’s CCO, Jason McGuinness said:

“We are delighted to be in Liverpool today to celebrate more Ryanair investment and record growth for the Northwest, with the announcement of a sixth Ryanair aircraft at Liverpool for Summer 2026 as well as 3 new routes to Marrakesh, Tirana, and Warsaw. Ryanair will also add extra flights on existing popular sun and city break routes, like Alicante, Barcelona, Faro, Ibiza & Kraków, driving 2026 traffic above 2.4m passengers p.a.

Ryanair’s supercharged investment and growth at Liverpool (US$600m) will deliver more than 2m low-fare seats to 34 European destinations, offering customers in the Northwest more choice at the lowest fares in Europe, while simultaneously driving inbound tourism. While Ryanair is growing at Liverpool next Summer, other regional airports across the UK are being hamstrung by Rachel Reeves idiotic decision to increase APD. If the UK Govt is serious about delivering growth, they should abolish this penal and damaging APD tax, which makes the UK (particularly regional airports) uncompetitive compared to EU countries like Sweden, Hungary, Slovakia, and regional Italy, which are abolishing aviation taxes and lowering access costs to stimulate traffic, tourism, and jobs growth.

To celebrate Ryanair’s new aircraft and 3 new routes at Liverpool this Summer, we’ve launched a limited time seat sale with fares from £29.99 available only at Ryanair.com.”

Liverpool John Lennon Airport’s CEO, John Irving said:

“As our longest serving airline partner of nearly 40 years with around 40 million of their passengers having chosen to travel via Liverpool in that time, firstly I’d like to thank Ryanair for their continued support and for this latest commitment. This news highlights Liverpool John Lennon Airport’s strategic importance for the City Region and wider Northwest and North Wales and will bring more jobs, more investment and more choice for the region’s travellers as well as for those from overseas visiting the region via the airport too.

As 2025 draws to a close, on what has been one of Liverpool Airport’s busiest years ever, Ryanair’s decision to base a 6th aircraft at Liverpool in 2026 with an additional 250,000 seats on sale, is likely to help the airport go on to break all previous passenger records.”

Ryanair, Europe and Poland’s No.1 airline, today (Wed, 3 Dec) announced it will base a sixth aircraft in Gdańsk for Summer 2026, representing a US$600m investment from Ryanair in Pomerania. This additional aircraft will deliver +300,000 additional seats (+16% growth), 5 exciting new routes to Rome, Dubrovnik, Tirana, Palermo and Bucharest and extra flights on 17 existing popular routes to Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga and Malta. Ryanair’s record Gdańsk Summer 2026 schedule will deliver 2.3m seats across 43 routes, offering customers in the Pomeranian Voivodeship even more choice at Europe’s lowest fares.

Ryanair’s Gdańsk S26 schedule will deliver:

• A record 43 routes, incl. 5 new routes to Bucharest, Dubrovnik, Palermo, Rome & Tirana
• 6 based aircraft (+1 vs. S25 – US$600m investment)
• Increased freq. on 17 routes – incl. Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga and Malta
• 2.3m seats incl. 300,000 (+16%) additional seats

To celebrate Ryanair’s sixth aircraft and 5 new routes in Gdańsk next Summer, Ryanair launched a limited-time seat sale with fares available from PLN 120, only at www.ryanair.com.

Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer, Jason McGuinness, said:

“We are delighted to celebrate the news that Ryanair will base a sixth aircraft in Gdańsk for Summer 2026 alongside the announcement of 5 new routes to Bucharest, Dubrovnik, Palermo, Rome & Tirana, in addition to extra flights to 17 popular sun and city destinations such as Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga and Malta. Next Summer, Ryanair’s US$600m investment in the Pomeranian Voivodeship will deliver more than 2.3m low-fare seats from Gdańsk to a record 43 European destinations.

Ryanair’s 6 based aircraft and US$600m investment in Gdańsk is a clear commitment to growing Poland’s regional connectivity. Next Summer, Gdańsk will benefit from +300,000 (+16%) additional seats and 5 new routes with Europe and Poland’s biggest airline, driving inbound tourism to Pomerania and supporting year-round international connectivity at Europe’s lowest fares.

To celebrate Ryanair’s biggest ever schedule and 5 new routes at Gdańsk next Summer, we’ve launched a 2-day seat sale with fares from just PLN 120 available only at Ryanair.com.”

Tomasz Kloskowski, CEO of Gdańsk Airport, added:

“Ryanair’s decision to grow its Gdańsk base with a 6th aircraft and launch exciting new routes for Spring 2026 is a direct result of our long-standing, excellent cooperation and a clear signal of our airport’s rising importance in the region and across Poland. We are delighted that this investment will give passengers from Pomerania even greater choice, while allowing us – together with our partner Ryanair – to continue expanding our route network and strengthen our position as one of Poland’s fastest-growing airports.”

Ryanair, Europe, and Italy’s No. 1 airline, today (Fri, 28^th Nov) announced record Winter 2025 and Summer 2026 schedules for Pescara Airport, including 2 year-round based aircraft (for the first time ever during the Winter season), representing a US$200m investment in the region. This record investment from Ryanair will deliver more than 1.3 million passengers p.a. (+80% growth since the Mun Tax was scrapped) to Pescara, further demonstrating how President Marsilio’s removal of the Municipal Tax continues to fuel year-round growth, connectivity, tourism and economic growth in the Abruzzo Region.

Ryanair’s record W25 and S26 schedules to Pescara will deliver:

• 2 based aircraft – US$200m tot. invest.
• W25: 14 routes, 8 new: Cagliari, Milan Malpensa, Kaunas, Krakow, Trapani-Marsala, Turin, Valencia, and Wroclaw.
• S26: 21 routes, 1 new: Tirana & 1 reinstated: Milan Bergamo.
• Over 1.3m passengers p.a. (+80% vs 2024).
• Supp. over 1,000 jobs in the Abruzzo Region, incl. over 60 well paid pilots & crew.

Pescara Airport and the Abruzzo Region have become significantly more competitive and attractive for investment thanks to President Marsilio’s forward-thinking decision to scrap the Municipal Tax. Abruzzo was the third Italian region to scrap this regressive tax and since then, Ryanair has responded by adding one new aircraft (incremental +US$100m invest.), +80% traffic growth and supporting over 1,000 jobs – delivering more year-round connectivity at Europe’s lowest fares for the citizens of Abruzzo. However, if the rest of Italy wants to remain competitive compared to competing European countries such as Albania, Sweden and Slovakia which are actively reducing access costs, the Italian Government must abolish the Municipal Tax at all Italian airports to stimulate traffic, tourism, and job growth nationwide.

To celebrate this record growth in Pescara, Ryanair has launched a 3-day seat sale with fares from €34.99 to travel until the end of June, available from today for booking only at ryanair.com.

From Pescara, Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer, Jason McGuinness, said:

“As Italy’s No.1 airline, Ryanair is delighted to announce another year of record growth and investment at Pescara Airport – which is a direct result of President Marsilio’s move to abolish the punitive Municipal Tax in 2025. This strategic decision has allowed Ryanair to grow traffic to more than 1.3m annual passengers (+80% versus 2024) and unlock the Abruzzo Region’s full year-round potential. As part of this continuous growth, we are pleased to unveil our record Winter 2025 and Summer 2026 schedules today – delivering ever more domestic and international routes across both seasons, making it easier than ever for passengers to access Abruzzo’s stunning coastline and mountains, vibrant cities, and unique cultural heritage.

Today’s announcement demonstrates the transformative growth Ryanair can deliver to airports and regions that lower access costs. This move has unlocked year-round growth, delivering enhanced low-fare travel options, boosting inbound tourism, and supporting more than 1,000 jobs across the Abruzzo Region. However, it’s time for the Italian Government to accelerate traffic growth and increase competitiveness at all Italian airports.

Ryanair, therefore, calls on the Italian Government to scrap the Municipal Tax nationwide. Removing this unnecessary charge would enable Ryanair to deliver an additional 20 million passengers annually, 40 more aircraft worth $4bn, 15,000 new Ryanair jobs and over 250 new routes which would drive year-round tourism, investment, and employment across all of Italy.”

Abruzzo’s Region President, Marco Marsilio, said:

The equation of lower taxes plus more passengers works, and the results are evident. In Saga’s business plan, the goal of surpassing one million passengers was set for 2026, but we have brought it forward, and next year the number of passengers will be further increased. I see a lively airport; there is enthusiasm among the staff, and this is a source of pride for everyone. I hope that this significant growth serves as an incentive for other carriers, because this is an efficient, functional, and cost-effective airport. The new challenge is to improve the infrastructure to accommodate the arrival of more passengers with the new flights.”

Giorgio Fraccastoro, SAGA (Abruzzo Airport) President, said:

“With the achievement of one million passengers, which we wanted to celebrate by symbolically honoring a traveler, a new phase has begun for Abruzzo Airport, generating an increasingly significant impact for the entire regional territory. This has been made possible thanks to the synergy established with Ryanair and the Region. We are experiencing the busiest winter season ever for the airport, and the summer season will further increase last year’s already record numbers, with destinations being strengthened and frequencies increased in light of the excellent results achieved. The hope is that this relationship with the airline will grow stronger every day and that new routes, part of the airport users’ wishlist, can also be opened.”

To celebrate the milestone of one million passengers at the airport, the President of the Abruzzo Region, Marco Marsilio, the President of Saga, Giorgio Fraccastoro, and Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer, Jason McGuinness, presented a Ryanair gift card and two vouchers for experiences in Abruzzo, provided by Il Bosso and Majellando, to Gaia from Tuscany and Lorenzo from Marche, two passengers transiting through the airport on their way to Brussels.
