Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair has announced a record-breaking winter schedule at Bratislava Airport. During the 2026–2027 winter season, the airline will operate flights on 23 routes — the largest number of destinations in Bratislava in the carrier’s history. This is reported on Ryanair’s official website. For Ukrainians who use the Slovak capital as a convenient air hub, this is important news: the choice of destinations is expanding significantly.

Four new routes from Bratislava


In addition to the existing 19 routes, Ryanair is adding four completely new destinations:

● Paphos, Cyprus

● Tirana, Albania

● Turin, Italy

● Warsaw, Poland


To implement its ambitious plans, Ryanair will station a fourth Boeing 737 aircraft in Bratislava starting in October 2026. This will allow the airline to increase flight frequency and launch new routes without compromising existing ones.


The airline forecasts that this expansion will boost passenger traffic through Bratislava Airport by 125% — to over 2.2 million passengers per year. This is a significant leap that transforms Bratislava into one of Ryanair’s busiest regional hubs in Central Europe.


By the way, if you’re planning a trip to Bratislava, you can conveniently organize your entire itinerary — from departure from Ukraine to boarding your flight — via the Visit Ukraine platform, where ticket bookings for all modes of transport are available.
