Summer 2026 Brings New Ryanair Links for Ancona
Ryanair has confirmed its Summer 2026 schedule for Ancona, adding five routes and over 40 weekly flights. The programme covers Brussels Charleroi, Catania, Krakow, Düsseldorf-Weeze and London Stansted, giving the Adriatic airport a busier seasonal timetable. The airline highlights its 27-year presence at Ancona, during which it has carried more than 4.5 million passengers and contributed to year-round connectivity for the Marche region.
Fabrizio Francioni, Ryanair’s Head of Communications Italy, said the new schedule reflects the carrier’s continued commitment to Ancona and the wider region. He also repeated Ryanair’s call for Italian authorities to remove the municipal surcharge applied at many airports, arguing that several regions have already scrapped it with positive effects. Ryanair claims that removing it nationwide would trigger additional investment and network growth.
Airport leadership welcomed the announcement, with Giorgio Buffa, CEO of Ancona International Airport, describing Ryanair as a long-standing pillar in the airport’s development strategy and an important partner for the 2027–2030 Strategic Plan. To mark the launch, Ryanair also rolled out a promotional fare starting at €29.99 for Summer 2026 bookings made via the app before 20 January.
Routes and Frequency (Summer 2026)
- Brussels Charleroi
- Catania
- Krakow
- Düsseldorf-Weeze
- London Stansted
More than 40 weekly flights are scheduled across these routes, strengthening access between the Marche region and cities known for culture, heritage and short-break appeal. Brussels offers museums and EU institutions, Krakow is packed with historic landmarks, London and Düsseldorf draw business and leisure traffic, while Catania suits travellers heading towards Sicily’s coastal towns and volcanic landscapes.
For many holidaymakers, the announcement keeps Ancona firmly on the low-cost travel map. Seasonal links have become part of how regional airports sustain tourism, trade and visiting-friends-and-relatives traffic. Ryanair’s long tenure at Ancona suggests that demand remains steady, and the broader conversation about airport taxation shows how policy decisions can directly influence route availability and pricing for European summer travel.
