The spotlight is on Calabria for Ryanair's summer 2026, which is debuting 5 new international routes in the wake of the abolition of the municipal surcharge.
3.2 million passengers per year in Calabria
The operation involves four Calabria-based aircraft - two in Lamezia and two in Reggio - for a total investment of $400 million in the region: “This growth will enable us to reach 3.2 million passengers per year (+14%), support over 2,500 jobs and boost tourism and connectivity in Calabria,- says Fabrizio Francioni, head of communications Italy Ryanair. -Thanks to President Occhiuto's decision to abolish the municipal surcharge, Ryanair has already made significant investments in Calabria.”
“Ryanair can deliver 20 million more passengers”
“We now call on the Italian government to follow Calabria's example and eliminate this tax on a national level, so that Ryanair can deliver even more transformative growth, with the addition of 40 aircraft (+$4 billion), 20 million more passengers, 250 new routes and 15,000 new jobs across Italy."
Increased flights also to Italian cities
This summer the Irish low-cost airline's network will cover 42 routes, including five new ones to Lamezia from Bratislava, Budapest, Saarbrücken, Sofia and Warsaw. There will also be an increase in the frequency of existing routes: from Reggio to Milan Malpensa, Turin and Venice, and from Crotone to Milan Bergamo and Bologna.
