Without further ado, let’s get into it…

The New Katowice-Bari Flights…

The new flights between Katowice and Bari with Ryanair launched on April 16, 2024.

It is understood these flights will be serviced on a twice-weekly basis by the airline on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

“During this time, the airline will expand its base to three aircraft and launch five new routes from Pyrzowice, including to Bari, Italy.”

“In our opinion, the destination will be very popular, just like the other four new Ryanair routes from the Katowice airport, i.e. Alicante, Malta, Rome and Zadar.”

Ryanair will boost operations out of Katowice and Poznan for the Summer, but will be reducing it’s presence in Warsaw Modlin significantly.

The Irish low-cost carrier has had to make relevant adjustments to ensure Poland remains a strong market for them.

Without further ado, let’s get into it…

Base Expansion in Katowice & Poznan…

Starting off with Poznan, Ryanair will launch the Summer 2024 schedule with 38 routes, offering 250 weekly flights.

Of the 38 routes, six are new, which are as follows:

• Copenhagen
• Dubrovnik
• Malaga
• Palermo
• Prague
• Thessaloniki

One additional aircraft will be based in Poznan, with Ryanair having four based total there.

The Irish low-cost carrier expects traffic to grow by 57% to 1.4 million passengers.

As for Katowice, Ryanair will have 20 routes on offer, offering a total of 160 weekly flights.

Of the 20 routes, five are new, with them being the following:

• Alicante
• Bari
• Malta
• Rome Fiumicino
• Zadar

One additional aircraft will be based in Katowice as well as Poznan, with traffic expected to grow by 50% to one million passengers annually.

Aircraft Withdrawn from Warsaw Over “Unnecessary Cuts”…

Within it’s $4.2bn growth plan for Poland, Ryanair also broke some news regarding operations at Warsaw Modlin.

Due to the airline not growing out of the airport, of which the airline blames the operator’s shareholders, two aircraft have been withdrawn.

This is where we are seeing the additional aircraft based each in Poznan and Katowice.

In a statement, Ryanair said the following on Warsaw Modlin:

“Shareholders of Modlin Airport should intervene immediately, as over the last year the appointed management team has only supervised the loss of one million seats and cancellations/frequency reductions on over 40 routes (including important European connections such as London, Dublin, Vienna, Milan and Copenhagen).”

“Despite completely unnecessary cuts in Modlin, Ryanair reaffirms its commitment to expanding its network and access to cheap travel for Polish consumers.”

“The carrier will deliver a +10% increase in passenger traffic (18 million passengers) to Poland this summer, operating over 2,000 flights per week to and from Poland on 30 new routes (300 in total) and using 42 based aircraft (investment of USD 4.2 billion), supporting over 13 thousand jobs.”

Jason McGuinness, the Chief Commercial Director of Ryanair added to this saying:

“Shareholders of Modlin Airport must now intervene or risk further, inevitable reductions in the flight network, loss of jobs and economic benefits for the Masovian region.”

“Modlin Airport must focus on providing effective, low-cost infrastructure to restore much-needed traffic growth in Masovia.”

Overall…

It remains clear that Ryanair has invested very well into Poland, with the boosts to Katowice & Poznan highlighting this.

Looking ahead, all eyes will be on Warsaw Modlin to see if a change in tact will be implemented.

An airline like the Irish low-cost carrier is an important one to have, especially in the context of low fares.

But for now, let’s see what happens throughout 2024 with this issue.

The tourism tax pressure in Italy by Ryanair continues to bear fruit, as the airline unveils new flights out of Calabria.

For the Irish low-cost carrier, they have been targeting municipal governments in order to allow expansion.

Without further ado, let’s get into it…

Ryanair & It’s Plans for Calabria Flights…

Ryanair plans to expand significantly in terms of flights and operations out of Calabria following the scrapping of tax.

It is understood the airline will add two more aircraft to the base, bringing the total to four.

There is expected to be 50% growth on the route, with one million passengers expected to handle through 15 new routes.

Furthermore, the new flights from Calabria, will see the following:

• Reggio Calabria:
  • London Stansted
  • Brussels Charleroi
  • Milan Malpensa
  • Pisa
  • Frankfurt Hahn
  • Katowice
  • Paris Beauvais
• Lamezia:
  • Tirana
  • Brussels Charleroi
• Crotone
  • Venice Treviso
  • Turin

Ryanair also said that from the Calabria area, they will add four new routes to Trieste, Madrid, Wroclaw and Bucharest from Lamezia Terme.

Eddie Wilson: The Work Doesn’t Stop There…

Commenting on this milestone was Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson, who praised the expansion, but highlighted the work is not yet done:

“We are thrilled to announce Ryanair’s significant investment and expansion in the Calabria region, following President Occhiuto’s forward-thinking decision to abolish the municipal tax.”

“This strategic move enables us to rapidly increase our capacity in the region, adding an additional Boeing B737-800 at Reggio Calabria and Lamezia Terme, launching new routes across the Region.”

“Our Winter 2024 schedule for Calabria will deliver 82% growth compared to Winter 2023, with three based aircraft and a total investment of $300 million.”

“Furthermore, we plan to base another aircraft in Lamezia Terme for Summer 2025, bringing our total to four based aircraft in the region and increasing our total investment to $400 million.”

“This will deliver 50% growth next year for the region, supporting over 1,200 jobs and contributing to the economic growth of the region by enhancing tourism, improving connectivity, and offering lower fares to both citizens and visitors.”

“Ryanair now calls on all Italian regions to scrap this regressive tax. Sicily and Sardinia in particular should follow the positive example of Calabria and revolutionise their connectivity by scrapping the tax.”

“Ryanair could deliver an additional 3 million seats annually to Sicily and 2 million to Sardinia, transforming connectivity on a year-round basis, as we did in Trieste and will now do in Calabria.”

Overall…

In conclusion, the expansion of flights from Calabria with Ryanair is a big step in the right direction.

However, from this, it is clear that the airline’s work is not yet done.

The more pressure they place on regional taxes and win, the more flights they can add.

It ultimately means more flights for passengers on a low-cost basis.

All eyes will be on how much further the Irish low-cost carrier can take with municipal governments across Italy.

A scheduled flight to Katowice, Poland operated by Ryanair subsidiary Buzz made a precautionary return to Dortmund following a bird strike on 7 June 2024.

Flight FR6916, a flight from Dortmund being operated by Buzz on behalf of Ryanair was on climb below 5000 feet when a bird impacted the right-hand engine.

Following the bird strike, flight crew discontinued the climb and entered a holding pattern in close proximity to Dortmund Airport (DTM).

After a period of holding to permit the crew to troubleshoot the problem, the decision was made to initiate a precautionary return.

The aircraft was then positioned for a return and approach to RWY24. The flight subsequently landed without further incident just over 30 minutes after its initial departure.

Damage to the right-hand engine was reported as a result of the bird strike.

Aircraft & Flight Details

Flight data shows that flight FR6916 made an on-time departure out of Dortmund for Katowice Airport (KTW) at 2037 local time.

Following departure, flight crew terminated the climb procedure at 5000 feet before entering a holding procedure to troubleshoot the issue.

The aircraft did not declare a formal emergency and the subsequent return was conducted under normal operating procedures. The flight subsequently landed at 2114 local time.

The aircraft conducting the FR6916 service to Katowice on behalf of the carrier Ryanair was a Boeing 737-800, registered SP-RKT.

This is a 6.7 year old narrowbody aircraft belonging to the subsidiary carrier Buzz. It has been in operational service with the airline since April 2020. Prior to its service with the carrier, it was operated by Ryanair since its initial delivery in October 2017.

Buzz, the Ryanair subsidiary, is a Polish airline headquartered in Warsaw. It operates scheduled passenger flights out of Poland to other destinations in Europe, and also offers charter flights.

The airline was originally established in 2017 under the name Ryanair Sun. It started out as a charter airline, operating flights to popular vacation destinations.

Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair has this week celebrated the handling of 45m passengers in Bologna, Italy by adding more flights for the Summer.

The airline has extensive operations out of the Italian airport, with this set to grow during the busy Summer period.

Without further ado, let’s get into it…

Ryanair & Bologna in Summer 2024…

To celebrate handling 45 million passengers in Bologna, Ryanair has unveiled it’s Summer 2024 plans for the airport.

Three new routes will be added to the operation, with them being:

• Reggio Calabria
• Tirana

Furthermore, there will be an increase in frequencies on 10 routes also, with the following being highlights of this:

• Barcelona
• Ibiza

A total of 11 aircraft will be based at the airport, which is valued at an investment of $1.1bn.

Mauro Bolla, the airline’s Country Manager for the region had this to say:

“As the No.1 airline in Italy and Bologna, Ryanair is delighted to celebrate 45 million passengers in Bologna since the start of operations.”

“Ryanair is pleased to announce the exciting new operation to Bologna for the S24, with 65 routes including 3 exciting new destinations: Olbia, Reggio and Tirana.”

“This growth is supported by Ryanair’s commitment to Bologna Airport, installing 11 aircraft – representing an investment of $1.1 billion, increasing weekly frequency on more than 10 routes and supporting 3,500 jobs, including 330 well paid for pilots, cabin crew and engineers.”

“By reaching this important milestone, Ryanair has helped passengers to/from Italy to reach their loved ones, meet business partners, go on holiday and study abroad.”

“Ryanair continues to deliver more traffic, more jobs and offer lower fares than any other airline in Bologna and Italy.

Plans for Expansion Continues…

In addition to the upgraded Bologna flights, Ryanair has been outlining growth plans over the last couple of weeks.

Firstly, the airline added four new routes to it’s Krakow operations, of which a total of 83 routes will be served.

After that, expansion was applied to Pisa, Palma de Mallorca, Menorca & Ibiza, in a big boost for Spain.

Ryanair has this week announced a major investment plan into Puglia in Italy, with new routes for Bari & Brindisi.

The Irish low-cost carrier is expanding it’s presence in the region significantly with 10 new routes.

Without further ado, let’s get into it…

The New Flights Out of Puglia: Brindisi & Bari Growth…

Ryanair will offer a total of 80 routes out of the Puglia area, with this broken down as 57 for Bari and 23 for Brindisi.

The individual airport breakdown is as follows:

• Brindisi:
  • Two new routes:
    • Gdansk
    • Trieste
• Bari
  • Eight new routes:
    • Athens
    • Barcelona
    • Dubrovnik
    • Malaga
    • Katowice
    • Rhodes
    • Tirana
    • Toulouse

This means that within the Puglia area, Ryanair will offer over 800 flights per week from the region.

Such a move is expected to grow passenger traffic by seven per cent to 4.3 million passengers in Summer 2024.

Jason McGuinness, the Chief Commercial Officer of the airline had this to say on the expansion:

“As the No. 1 airline. 1 in Italy and Puglia, Ryanair is pleased to announce record operations for Puglia for summer ’24 with over 800 weekly flights on 80 routes, including 10 exciting new summer destinations to Athens, Barcelona (G) , Dubrovnik, Gdańsk, Malaga, Katowice, Rhodes, Tirana, Toulouse and Trieste, offering Apulian citizens/visitors even more choice for summer holidays at the lowest rates in Europe.”

“To support this operational record, Ryanair will base 5 aircraft ($500 million invested) and support over 3,400 jobs (including well-paid positions for pilots, cabin crew and engineers) in the region.”

“Ryanair is also celebrating 20 years of activity in Puglia, where it confirms itself as the fastest growing airline, going from 0.2 million passengers since the start of operations to over 4.3 million passengers transported this summer.”

Area Congratulated By The Airline for Reducing Taxes…

McGuinness also congratulated the Puglia area for reducing taxes to allow low-cost fares to continue.

This is in stark contrast to Naples who have decided to raise the municipal taxes by 30%.

“This will likely result in the reduction of aircraft based, impacting local tourism, employment and access to low fares for Neapolitans to Italian and European destinations.”, the airline said in a statement.

On Puglia, which has Bari & Brindisi Airport, he added to this saying:

“Ryanair congratulates the Mayor of Brindisi for his vision and approach in supporting the growth of tourism, improving connectivity and, in turn, lowering fares for citizens and visitors to the Puglia Region, halting the increase in additional municipal/tourist tax.”

“However, there is an opportunity for Puglia to ensure accelerated growth in passenger numbers and tourism in the coming years, provided that the Puglia Region and the Italian Government abolish the excessive municipal surtax.”

“Should the Italian Government abolish the municipal surtax, Ryanair will respond with a $4 billion investment in Italy, adding 40 new aircraft, another 20 million passengers per year and over 250 new routes.”

Overall…

In conclusion, the Puglia area, which includes Bari & Brindisi, is set for significant expansion this Summer.

With new routes and up to 800+ weekly flights, the Irish low-cost carrier is taking advantage of the Italian catchment.

Looking ahead, all eyes will be on whether anymore plans will be unveiled regarding Italy or not.

But for now, let’s see how the airline’s 2024 performs.

Ryanair has this week called on the mayor of Naples to abolish the increased municipal tax which will prevent airfares from remaining low.

It is understood that the decision was taken to increase passenger taxes in the region by 30%.

Without further ado, let’s get into it…

Ryanair Threatens Reduction in Winter Flights from Naples…

Ryanair has said that as a result of this 30% hike in taxes out of Naples, the airline will have no choice but to reduce capacity.

“This will likely result in the reduction of aircraft based, impacting local tourism, employment and access to low fares for Neapolitans to Italian and European destinations.”, the airline said in a statement.

Adding to this was Jason McGuinness, the airline’s Chief Commercial Officer:

“Unfortunately, today we are in Naples with no new routes or growth to announce following the unjustified and excessive 30% increase in the municipal surcharge/tourism tax.”

“Higher access fees at slot-constrained airports like Naples will only force airlines to concentrate operations in peak summer months and the most profitable international destinations, to the detriment of domestic connectivity and for local travellers.”

Other Areas of Italy Are Reducing Such Taxes…

Ryanair was keen to make it known to Naples that other areas of Italy have been reducing taxes.

For example, the Trieste eliminated the additional surcharge, resulting in an additional aircraft based at the airport.

This represented an immediate $100m investment into the local area, with 50% growth coming from eight new routes.

McGuiness reaffirmed the calls on Naples to reverse this decision:

“Ryanair calls on the mayor to immediately stop this unjustified tax increase to safeguard year-round connectivity, tourism and access to low fares for the citizens of Naples.”

“It is also the responsibility of the Italian Government to completely abolish the additional municipal surcharge/tourism tax at all Italian airports and allow Ryanair and other airlines to further increase traffic, tourism and employment in Italy.”

“If the Italian Government abolishes the regressive additional municipal/tourism tax, Ryanair will respond with a $4 billion investment in Italy”.

“[This will add] 40 new aircraft, an additional 20 million passengers per year, over 250 new routes and 1,500 jobs more”.

Overall…

It remains clear that Ryanair will continue to pile on the pressure in Naples for as long as it takes.

Furthermore, the same sort of situation is occurring in Warsaw Modlin, where the airline has reduced capacity.

Such a reduction has resulted in the movement of aircraft to other bases, which looks to be what the airline will do again.

For now, all eyes will be on what Naples does next as a result of this decision from Ryanair.
