We’ve operated to and from Bologna for 17 years, carrying over 55 million passengers to date and have invested over $1 billion with 11 Bologna-based aircraft, supporting more than 4,800 local jobs.

Launched in 2008, the partnership with the Dublin-based carrier has contributed to the growth of our city and region as well-known and appreciated tourist destinations at an international level. Moreover, Ryanair’s flight offer has supported outgoing travel for people and businesses in our region, thanks to a very extensive and diversified network of routes. Today, Ryanair is the leading airline at Bologna Airport, accounting for around 55% of the airport’s total passengers.
