Ryanair is scaling back services at 13 airports by 2027 due to costs, but expanding in Rimini with a $200M investment.
Ryanair reduces services at multiple airports
Ryanair has interrupted or plans to interrupt its services at thirteen airports between 2026 and 2027, according to a survey by the Italian press. The company adjusts its capacity based on costs and local constraints, with some airports losing routes while others may see increased service.List compiled by Italian media
The Corriere della Sera compiled a list of thirteen airports where Ryanair has ceased or plans to cease service between 2026 and spring 2027. This list spans eight countries and includes airports such as Clermont-Ferrand, Rodez, and Bremen, but the company has not announced a single, unified closure plan.Interruptions not all effective yet
As of October 19, some of the announced service interruptions are not yet in effect. For example, in Niš, the suspension of routes to Vienna and Malta applies to the winter 2026-2027 schedule, which begins on October 25.Clermont-Ferrand route closure
In France, Ryanair has already stopped operating at Clermont-Ferrand, as reported by Air Journal. The company ceased operations on March 27, 2026, ending connections to Porto, London-Stansted, and Fès, despite good occupancy rates on those routes.Rodez service still active
At Rodez, the airport's website still shows Ryanair flights to Brussels and London until late 2026. These dates do not confirm a definitive end to service at the airport for future seasons.Azores route cuts due to costs
In the Azores, Ryanair removed six routes due to disputes over costs. The company announced the end of all flights in the archipelago starting March 29, 2026, citing fees from the local airport manager ANA and other expenses in Portugal.Berlin base closure, not full abandonment
In Germany, Ryanair confirmed the closure of its base in Bremen starting April 2027. However, in Berlin, the company is closing its base but will continue to serve the city with planes based elsewhere, reducing passenger numbers but not abandoning the airport entirely.Rimini sees increased service
In Rimini, Italy, Ryanair plans to open a new base in the summer of 2027 with two planes. The company describes this as a 200 million dollar investment, with plans for over 600,000 seats and 114 weekly flights across 17 routes. The move follows the elimination of a regional tax in the area.
