RYANAIR OPENS NEW 2 AIRCRAFT BASE IN RIMINI FOR S'27
$200M INVESTMENT DELIVERS 17 ROUTES (5 NEW), 600K SEATS & 500
JOBS
FOLLOWING EMILIA-ROMAGNA'S ABOLITION OF THE MUNICIPAL
TAX
Ryanair, Europe and Italy's No.1 airline, today (Thurs, 15 Oct)
announced its new 2-aircraft base ($200m investment) in Rimini for
Summer ’27, marking a significant milestone of the
airline’s commitment to deliver increased connectivity,
year-round inbound tourism, and job opportunities for
Emilia-Romagna following the regional Govt’s abolition of the
Municipal Tax. With its new Rimini base, Ryanair will operate its
largest-ever schedule from Rimini in Summer ’27, offering
over 600,000 low fare seats (+100% vs 2025) across 17 routes,
including 5 new routes to Dublin, Memmingen, Stockholm, Tirana and
Warsaw, supporting over 500 local jobs (including high-paid jobs
for pilots & cabin crew) and attracting thousands of additional
visitors to Emilia-Romagna each year.
Ryanair's Summer ‘27 Rimini schedule will
deliver:
●
2
new based aircraft at Rimini (US$200m investment)
●
600k
seats (+100% vs S’25)
●
17
routes (incl. 5 new routes to Dublin, Memmingen, Stockholm, Tirana,
& Warsaw)
●
114
total weekly flights (+100% vs. 2025)
●
Supporting
over 500 local jobs
Ryanair's $200m investment in Rimini is part of the wider growth
being delivered across Emilia-Romagna following the Region's
decision to abolish the Municipal Tax. This pro-growth measure from
President Michele de Pascale has already enabled Ryanair to add 9
new routes, deliver over 700,000 passengers annually, 250,000 new
seats and support more than 450 jobs across the region’s
airports.
Ryanair again calls on the Italian Govt to follow the lead of
Italy’s pro-growth regions, like Emilia-Romagna, Abruzzo,
Calabria, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Sicily, and scrap the
regressive Municipal Tax at all Italian airports. If the Municipal
Tax is abolished nationwide, Ryanair will respond with a further $4
billion investment in Italy, including 40 additional aircraft, over
20m additional p.a., 250 new routes and over 15,000 new
jobs.
To celebrate its new Rimini base and 5 new routes for Summer
‘27, Ryanair has launched a limited time seat sale with fares
from just €29.99 available now via the Ryanair
App/website.
Speaking from TTG Rimini, Ryanair CEO, Eddie Wilson,
said:
“As Europe and Italy’s No.1 airline, Ryanair is
delighted to announce our new 2-aircraft Rimini base from Summer
‘27 ($200m investment), delivering 600,000 low-fare Ryanair
seats (+100% vs S’25) across 17 routes, including 5 new
routes to Dublin, Memmingen, Stockholm, Tirana and Warsaw, and
supporting over 500 local jobs. This record Ryanair investment and
growth in Rimini demonstrates our long-term commitment to drive
traffic, tourism and economic growth across Emilia Romagna
following the region’s abolition of the Municipal
Tax.
We would like to thank President Michele de Pascale and the
Emilia-Romagna Govt for their leadership in creating the conditions
for increased connectivity, tourism growth, job creation and
long-term investment. While progressive regions, like Emilia
Romagna, Abruzzo, Calabria, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Sicily, are
benefiting from lower aviation taxes, the Municipal Tax continues
to undermine Italy's competitiveness. Ryanair again calls on the
Italian Govt to abolish this regressive tax and unlock further
investment and lower fare connectivity, including an additional 40
aircraft, 20 million more passengers per year, over 250 new routes
and 15,000 new jobs by 2030.”
Michele de Pascale, President of Emilia-Romagna Region,
said:
“The launch of these new Ryanair routes from Rimini for
Summer 2027 highlights the success of Emilia-Romagna’s
strategy to strengthen regional connectivity and tourism. These
services will boost international access to the region, support
local jobs and businesses, and reinforce Rimini’s position as
a key gateway to the Riviera and
Emilia-Romagna.”
