Ryanair's summer 2025 schedule at Rimini airport counts eight destinations, six of which are international flights.
New summer routes and flights from Cagliari and Palermo
The summer routes to Rimini are from Budapest, Krakow, Kaunas, Prague, London Stansted and Vienna as well as domestic flights from Cagliari and Palermo. Overall, there will be over 50 weekly flights.
Pushing for the abolition of municipal surtaxes
The low-cost airline, which has been operating to and from Rimini for 27 years, did not fail to bring its requests to the Italian government and regions to the forefront on the occasion of the launch of summer operations. “To stimulate the growth of Italian tourism we ask for the abolition of the municipal surtax at all Italian airports - reads the airline's note -, thus allowing Ryanair and other carriers to promote a rapid growth in tourism and employment throughout the year. Should the Italian government abolish the municipal surtax, Ryanair would respond with an investment of four billion dollars in Italy, adding 40 new aircraft, an increase in traffic of up to 80 million passengers a year, over 250 new routes and 1,500 new Ryanair jobs in the Italian regions».
Rimini is a favourite destination with foreign tourists
The appeal of Rimini on the Romagna coast is clear from the final figures for 2024: 6,934,419 overnight stays, an increase of +2.7% compared to 2023, while arrivals exceeded 1,856,501, equal to +1.2%, again compared to last year. This growth was driven in particular by foreign tourists, who recorded a +7% increase in arrivals and a +9.2% increase in overnight stays. The provisional Istat data therefore paints a picture of ‘an excellent year’ thanks to the return of foreign tourists. If these remarkable percentages of foreign tourism are spread over all twelve months of 2024, they settle at a record 30.3% of foreign arrivals out of the total (at a provincial level, the foreign percentage out of the total is 23.6% of arrivals).
Eastern European countries are boosting arrivals
The significant number of foreign visitors recorded in 2024 is largely due to the German and Austrian markets, as well as the explosion of new markets (led by Poland, followed by Romania and Ukraine), which have compensated for the forced collapse of what until 2019 was Rimini's main foreign asset, Russia.
