Every new Ryanair route coming to the UK this summer
The budget airline has revealed its summer schedule
Ryanair has made significant changes this travel year. These include updating its boarding pass rules, eliminating check-in desks, and reducing flight routes to France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, and Germany due to new aviation taxes across Europe.
The budget Irish airline has already announced a substantial reduction in seats ahead of the summer season. It will cut capacity on 12 flight routes to and from Spain, decreasing its seat offerings by 80,000 compared to last year.
Meanwhile, new routes have been introduced in the South West with a new line launched at Bristol airport. Twice-weekly flights to Toulouse will commence from Bristol Airport as of May 3 with Ryanair also adding several new destinations to its summer flight schedule.
Ryanair’s Head of Communications, Jade Kirwan, said: “We are pleased to announce our Summer 2025 schedule for Bristol, with 35 routes including and exciting new route to Toulouse-Blagnac as well as extra frequencies to 18 other popular summer holiday destinations like Lanzarote, Madrid and Malaga, giving UK citizens/visitors even more choice at the lowest fares in Europe.
"While this is great news for UK passengers looking to get away to soak up some sun this summer, Ryanair could be growing more rapidly to/from the UK, but Rachel Reeves’ bizarre decision to raise APD taxes by £2 per passenger damages these growth prospects, and in particular regional UK airports. If the UK Govt. wants to deliver growth, they should abolish their penal and damaging APD tax, which makes the UK uncompetitive when EU countries like Hungary, Ireland, Sweden and regions in Italy are abolishing aviation taxes, and winning dramatic traffic, tourism, and jobs growth from the UK as a result.”
AeroRoutes, which provides updates on global airline network changes, has published a summary report detailing all the planned network additions for the summer 2025 season. The list even includes flights from the UK to destinations that Ryanair hasn't serviced in over ten years.

In a move to bolster this expansion, Ryanair is investing an additional $100m in London by stationing a new Boeing 737 at London Stansted and creating 30 fresh roles for pilots, cabin crew, and engineers. Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, shared his enthusiasm about the new services in a press release: "We are also launching extra frequencies on 30 other London routes to exciting destinations like Gdansk, Ibiza, Malaga, and Rome."
Manchester residents can look forward to two new routes at the end of March, offering bi-weekly flights to Rabat, the capital of Morocco, and Toulouse in Southern France.
Ryanair has announced exciting new routes from Scotland, with Edinburgh to Funchal flights commencing on March 30 and Glasgow to Malta services starting April 25. Despite these promising developments, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has expressed concerns that the airline's growth could be even more significant if not for hindrances such as high Air Passenger Duty (APD) taxes.
In a recent press statement about the launch of the new flight paths, CEO O'Leary didn't mince words when criticising the Labour Government for restrictive policies. He made his point clear: "Ryanair could be growing more rapidly to/from the UK, but Rachel Reeves bizarre decision to raise APD taxes by £2 per passenger damages the growth prospects of the UK, and in particular regional UK airports."
