Ryanair announces its 2026 winter programme from Turin
Date of the event:
On 11 November 2026 Ryanair, the airline headquartered in Ireland, announced its 2026 winter programme from Turin, described as the largest ever run at the airport. The offering includes 1.8 million available seats, up 25% on the previous season, spread across 40 routes.[1]
The new routes
Among the 40 routes are 10 new destinations: Bratislava, Budapest, Gdańsk, Glasgow, Katowice, Malaga, Prague, Tirana, Warsaw and Wrocław. According to Ryanair, the expanded offering will give passengers from Piedmont more extensive connections to Europe.[1]
Investment and jobs
The growth is linked to the introduction of two further aircraft based in Turin for the 2026 winter season, bringing Ryanair's fleet based at the airport to five aircraft. The additional investment amounts to 200 million dollars, for a total investment of 500 million dollars. According to the airline, the expansion of operations in Turin will support more than 2,800 jobs in the north-west.[1][2]
The request on the municipal surcharge
Ryanair renewed its call on the Italian government to abolish the municipal surcharge on all the country's airports, following the example of regions such as Abruzzo, Calabria, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Sicily and Emilia Romagna. According to the airline, eliminating the tax nationwide could lead to an additional investment of 4 billion dollars, with 40 new aircraft, more than 20 million additional passengers a year, 250 new routes and more than 15,000 new jobs.[1]
Future prospects
Ryanair plans to further expand its network from Turin in the 2027 summer season, with flights to Athens and Tangier starting in April. For the launch of the winter programme, the airline has also activated a limited-time promotion with fares starting at 29.99 euros.[1]
