Ryanair raises the rates of 4-6% in the summer and communicates the cut of a series of routes

Low Cost Company Yes, but a little less starting fromSummer 2025: Ryanair has announced the upset upside down of the price of tickets, which he will affect the 4% and the 6% For summer flights, as confirmed by CEO Michael O’Leary at the press conference.

Taking the sums, the cost of a Ryanair ticket will remain lower than the peak reached in summer 2023, but a little higher than the rates applied in the summer of 2024.

Because Ryanair increases prices

O’Leary explained that the increase in Ryanair rates is due to a series of factors, including the improvement of Boeing’s production situation, the main supplier of planes for the company. Delary in deliveries should be resolved by the summer of 2026, thus guaranteeing greater operational stability for Ryanair.

By making a simulation, on a hypothetical one -way ticket from 50 euros you would pay 52 euros (+4%) or 53 euros (+6%), while on a single -going ticket of 100 euros it would be necessary to calculate double, or 104 euros (+4%) or 106 euros (+6%). All this without taking into account the return ticket price and any increases for accessory services such as hold back, priority boarding, insurance policy and so on.

The advice, for those in a position to be able to welcome it, is that of reserve The ticket for summer holidays large advance.

Route cutting

Ryanair also announced the cancellation of several routes in Europe during 2025. The cuts will also concern theItaly.

Other nations affected are:

  • Germany – Eliminate at least 22 routes, with a 60% drop in services at Hamburg Airport. The bases of Dresden, Dortmund and Leipzig closed;
  • Spain – Eliminate the routes to Jerez and Valladolid, closed the bases of Santiago. Traffic decreased in the Asturias, Zaragoza, Santander and Vigo;
  • Denmark – From March canceled connections for and by Aalborg, in addition to the closure of the Billund base;
  • France – Eliminate several routes.

In Italy, on the one hand we think of a reduction in traffic on the airport of Rome Fiumicinowhich arrives right in the Jubilee year.

On Thursday 27 February, Ryanair announced the summer plan for the Puglia region: these are 82 routes in total, 59 in Bari and 23 in Brindisi, with 5 aircraft in service (3 in Bari and 2 in Brindisi).

Ryanair announces that he has not been able to guarantee “significant growth in Puglia this summer” due to the municipal additional “Which does not benefit the region and has a negative impact on local tourism”.

So points out Fabrizio Francioni, Ryanair’s Head of Communications Italy:

“If the Italian government abolished the municipal additional, Ryanair would respond with an investment of $ 4 billion in Italy, adding 40 new aircraft, supporting traffic growth of up to 80 million passengers per year and over 250 new routes”.

If on the one hand Ryanair cuts flights, on the other side increases them: this summer 24 new routes will be launched by Poland. And once the conflict is finished in Ukrainethe return to Ukrainian airspace is expected.

New rules for hand luggage

In addition to the increases, the Irish company led by Michael O’Leary has new hand luggage rules. The details have not yet been disclosed, but it seems that they can concern the greater optimization of the space on board and the streamlining of the boarding procedures.
