Ryanair is relaunching at Trieste Airport where, for summer 2025, it is proposing 35% growth with three new routes from Lamezia, Prague and Stockholm.
Increasing frequencies on nine routes
The low-fares airline will also increase in frequencies on nine routes, including those from Barcelona, Bari, London, Cagliari and Olbia. At Trieste Airport the airline will therefore base an additional aircraft (an investment of $100 million) for a total of two, supporting over 800 jobs in the region. The objective is to transport 1.1 million passengers a year across the network's 21 routes.
“Ryanair has doubled traffic to 1.1 million passengers a year”
“We have worked closely with the Friuli Venezia Giulia region and Trieste airport since we started operating here in 2001, and President Fedriga's decision in 2024 to abolish the municipal surcharge marked a turning point for connectivity in North-Eastern Italy,- said Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson. - This move has allowed Ryanair to double traffic to 1.1 million passengers a year. As part of this continued growth, we will open an unrivalled 2025 summer operation.”
Ambitious goals for Italy include 80 million passengers a year
“The success of the region highlights the transformative impact of reducing access costs, and the time has come for other regions such as Veneto, Lombardy and the islands of Sardinia and Sicily to follow suit by abolishing the municipal surcharge to unlock their full tourism and connectivity potential. To boost growth and competitiveness, the Italian government should immediately abolish the municipal surtax in all regions to stimulate growth and reduce tariffs. Only in this way will Ryanair be able to achieve its ambitious goals for Italy, including 80 million passengers a year, 15,000 new jobs, 40 additional aircraft (a $4 billion investment) and over 250 new routes. Ryanair is asking the government to abolish the surcharge to encourage growth in tourism and employment throughout Italy, all year round”
