RYANAIR ADDS 1 NEW AIRCRAFT TO TURIN FOR SUMMER ‘26

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.”
