Ryanair is launching 10 new routes from Milan Malpensa Airport for the 2024/2025 winter season, including destinations in Spain, Poland, Hungary, Greece, Morocco, Paris and a domestic service. The low-cost airline will add an eighth aircraft to its Milan-Malpensa base, increasing traffic by 10% to 4.5 million passengers.
On the other hand, the Milan-Bergamo base will see a reduction from 24 to 20 aircraft, with a 5% decrease of its 20 million seats and 5 routes, as the low-cost airline will distribute its capacity in Italy by increasing its presence in Trieste and Reggio, which have abolished the municipal surcharge to encourage and boost passenger traffic growth.
To boost tourism, the governments of the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia and Calabria regions have eliminated the municipal tax at their airports. This move allowed Ryanair and other airlines to create new routes and new jobs. Ryanair has based three aircraft and more than 20 new services in these regions in winter 2024/2025, following the decision to abolish the municipal tax.
“Ryanair calls on the Meloni government to abolish the municipal tax at all Italian airports, as the Friuli Venezia Giulia and Calabria regions have already done in 2024, which would allow Italian airports to enjoy rapid growth in traffic, visitors and employment in the coming years. Ryanair would respond with a $4 billion investment in Italy, adding 40 new aircraft, more than 20 million passengers per year on 250 new routes and 1,500 new Ryanair jobs in the Italian regions,” said Michael O’Leary, Ryanair Group CEO.
