Ryanair announced on Friday, October 9, the sale of 29 new routes for its summer 2027 program. These routes include regional British airports, Mediterranean destinations, and Morocco. No route serves France in the list revealed, but the Irish company plans to announce other new additions in the coming months. The summer of 2027 is already taking shape at Ryanair. The low-cost airline opens reservations for its first new routes on its website and app before the full presentation of its summer program. It announces a network of more than 2,500 routes covering 230 destinations: these figures correspond to the entire announced program and not only to the new additions presented this Friday. "Ryanair is pleased to launch the 29 first new routes of what is shaping up to be a broad program for the summer of 2027, offering our budget-conscious customers a first opportunity to plan their holidays for next year," says Dara Brady, Ryanair's marketing director, in the company's statement. "These are the first of our new summer 2027 routes to be put up for sale; other new additions will be announced as Ryanair continues to develop its network." The United Kingdom occupies an important place in this first series: eleven of the 29 announced routes touch a British airport. Leeds Bradford concentrates four new routes, to Budapest, Tirana, Corfu, and Bari. Newcastle will host flights to Reus, in Spain, and Rhodes, in Greece. The other British openings will connect Birmingham to Wrocław, East Midlands to Gdańsk, Norwich to Malaga, as well as Exeter and Bournemouth to Porto. The overall selection combines beach destinations, major cities, and urban stays rather than an exclusively Mediterranean beach-focused development. This distribution constitutes one of the notable features of the announcement: Ryanair is expanding its offer from several regional British airports, without including a new route departing from London in this first list. On the continent, Italy appears several times. Bari will be connected to Friedrichshafen, Leeds Bradford, and Oslo-Torp; Palermo to Marrakech and Tirana. Added to these are Alicante–Naples, Athens–Turin, Catania–Wrocław, Tangier–Turin, and Brindisi–Warsaw. Morocco benefits from four new routes: Tangier–Alicante, Tangier–Cracow, Tangier–Turin, and Marrakech–Palermo. Tirana, in Albania, is featured in two announcements, from Leeds Bradford and Palermo. These openings extend a network that goes beyond the destinations of the European Union alone. The other new routes are Bourgas–Wrocław, Memmingen–Seville, Memmingen–Varna, Dubrovnik–Warsaw-Modlin, Friedrichshafen–Porto, Bratislava–Chania, and Gdańsk–Stockholm-Skavsta. The choice of airports merits attention here: Ryanair specifically notes Oslo-Torp, Stockholm-Skavsta, and Warsaw-Modlin, which are platforms that must be distinguished from other airports serving these cities. For French travelers, the finding is simple: none of the 29 routes presented depart from a French airport or arrive there. This absence, however, concerns only the first wave of new routes and does not allow one to conclude that there will be no openings in France for the entire summer of 2027. Ryanair explicitly states that other routes will follow. The statement does not detail the weekly frequencies, the start dates of operations, or the types of aircraft assigned to each of these routes. Ryanair accompanies this sale with a call to book early to obtain the lowest fares. This communication takes place in a less favorable economic context. Ryanair lowered its traffic target for the fiscal year ending in March 2027 on September 2, from 216 to 214 million passengers, in order to limit its winter losses and exposure to uncovered fuel costs. The company had also warned that maintaining high oil prices could lead to a significant increase in European short-haul fares for the summer of 2027.
