Ryanair Adds Bratislava–Pisa Route to 2026 Summer Schedule
Ryanair will begin operating a new direct air route between Bratislava and Pisa on 30 March 2026. The connection will be included in the airline’s summer timetable and offered twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. According to Bratislava Airport, this service is part of the wider development of its European network, expanding travel opportunities for passengers ahead of the 2026 holiday season.
This new route strengthens Bratislava’s position in Central Europe as a growing hub for short- and medium-haul flights. It follows earlier announcements introducing flights to Tuzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Warsaw in Poland. These places show a clear trend among low-cost airlines to connect small airports in the south and east of Europe with well-known tourist cities. This new connection makes travel easier and cheaper for passengers.
Pisa, located in the heart of Tuscany, is internationally recognised for its architectural and cultural landmarks. The Leaning Tower, the city’s most famous landmark, stands as the centerpiece of the Piazza dei Miracoli complex, which also includes the Cathedral and the Baptistery. With the launch of direct flights, visitors from Slovakia will be able to reach these sites without transfers, making short weekend trips or four-day visits to one of Italy’s most admired regions easier to plan.
The new air link also makes it easier to get to nearby Tuscan cities like Florence, Lucca, and Siena, each of which has its own unique cultural and historical attractions. Florence's museums and art galleries keep Renaissance masterpieces safe, while Lucca's old town is known for its well-preserved medieval walls and Siena is known for its famous square, Piazza del Campo. Travelers can easily reach these destinations from Pisa Airport by regional train or car, giving them greater freedom to explore Tuscany at their own pace.
The Bratislava–Pisa connection expands choices within Europe’s budget airline network. This shows that regional aviation continues to develop and airlines are trying to expand beyond their main hubs. More connections between smaller European cities help tourism and trade between countries. For travelers, these changes mean that it will be easier to get around, there will be fewer layovers, and it will be cheaper to see new places in 2026.
