Summer 2026: Ryanair strengthens Trieste
Ryanair is still focusing on Trieste Airport and presents the schedule for summer 2026, with a wider network and significant traffic growth. In fact, the company will field 21 routes, including the new Trieste-Tirana, with 2 aircraft based on the airport and a forecast of over 1.2 million passengers per year, an increase of 20%.
The summer plan strengthens Trieste's role as a strategic airport for Friuli Venezia Giulia and the North-East, thanks to an offer that combines new destinations and additional frequencies on already established connections. Among the routes affected by the increase in flights are Barcelona, Berlin, Brindisi and Valencia, while from 29 March direct connections to Cagliari, Olbia, Prague and Stockholm will also return.
Also supporting growth are the 2 aircraft based, for a total investment of 200 million dollars, and an important impact also on the territory. According to the carrier, the operation will support over 950 jobs in Friuli Venezia Giulia, confirming the weight of air connectivity in the development of tourism and the local economy.
With this summer schedule, Ryanair therefore consolidates its presence in Trieste and expands travel opportunities for passengers departing from the airport, with a richer network between Italy and Europe and a new route designed to further strengthen the international accessibility of the territory.
