Cagliari Airport Opens Winter 2025/26 Season with 33 Routes
Cagliari Airport has officially opened its Winter 2025/26 season, bringing 33 routes into operation - 11 of them international, linking Sardinia with ten European countries. The new schedule strengthens the airport’s growing role as a year-round Mediterranean hub. Even outside the busy summer period, it continues to connect southern Italy with key European destinations, giving travellers more choice and flexibility throughout the colder months.
The main addition to this winter’s network is easyJet’s new Cagliari–Basel route, now flying twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays. The connection creates an easy link not only with Switzerland but also with neighbouring France and Germany, as Basel sits at the crossroads of all three. The route is expected to attract both tourists and business passengers looking for convenient short trips, while opening new opportunities for weekend travel between the regions.
In total, the airport’s winter programme includes over 10,000 flights and nearly 1.7 million seats through March 2026. Flights will continue to key Italian cities such as Rome and Milan, as well as major European capitals including London, Paris, and Vienna. These connections keep Sardinia well linked to the mainland during winter, helping local businesses and making travel easier for both residents and visitors. The schedule also reflects ongoing demand for regular links between the island and Europe’s busiest hubs.
The new schedule opens access to many destinations. People from Sardinia can now fly directly to cities such as Basel, Vienna, and Paris, while European visitors can enjoy the island’s quiet beaches and relaxed rhythm during winter. This season reveals another side of Sardinia - calm seaside towns, seasonal food fairs, and skilled local artisans who keep traditional crafts alive.
In essence, Cagliari Airport’s expanded winter network keeps Sardinia connected when many other holiday destinations slow down. By combining convenient routes, steady capacity, and new international options, it continues to make travel between southern and central Europe smoother and more practical all year long. The added routes also bring steady winter traffic to the island, supporting local jobs and small businesses that depend on tourism.
