Ryanair has unveiled its winter 2026 UK schedule, adding 22 new routes across London and regional airports as the airline expands its UK network to 435 routes.
The new schedule includes four additional London connections. From London Stansted, Ryanair will launch flights to Glasgow, Malmö in Sweden and Parma in Italy, while London Luton will gain a new route to Venice.
Another 18 services will be introduced across the airline’s regional UK network, giving travellers more options for European trips during the winter season.
Ryanair expects to carry around 63 million passengers to and from the UK during 2026, although the airline recently reduced its overall annual passenger target by two million.
The winter expansion comes as Ryanair manages higher operating costs and fuel-price exposure. The airline expects its group-wide winter traffic between November and March to remain broadly similar to the previous year and has taken measures aimed at reducing potential winter losses.
Looking further ahead, Ryanair has proposed increasing its UK passenger numbers to 80 million by 2030, a potential 27% increase. However, chief executive Michael O’Leary said future growth would depend on UK operating costs and tax policy.
For UK travellers, the new winter schedule could mean more choice from regional and London airports, particularly for European city breaks and winter travel.
