Over the course of the summer 2025 Ryanair Will fly from Milan Bergamo and Malpensa airports to 156 routes, aiming to carry just under 19mln passengers. Numbers that make you shake and leg if you think that ITA, during this winter season, flies to 55 destinations in all.
Where Ryanair flies from Milan
In this article:
Again looking at the numbers there are as many as 30 Boeing 737s based at Milan's two airports, remember that FR has always decided to avoid flying from Linate where costs and limitations complicate the business model of Europe's largest low-cost airline. Obviously also complicating growth plans are the delays in Boeing's delivery of new MAXs.
At a morning press conference, Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson rattled off numbers and figures that confirm the company's trend-the growth of the post covid years has stalled, now is the time to maintain the numbers and fill flights.
The 2025 summer operation from Milan will offer more than 2300 weekly flights, truly huge numbers.

"Unfortunately, Ryanair will not be able to add significant growth in Milan this summer, due to the Italian government's regressive decision to further increase the municipal surtax by €0.50 per passenger at both airports as of April 1, 2025. This is in stark contrast to the growth seen in Abruzzo, Calabria and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where we have added 4 aircraft (for an investment of $400 million)-as a direct result of the decision to abolish the municipal surtax in these regions."
That's what the company thinks, of course personally I would have to object that 50 cents surcharge can make a user desist from buying, or not, a flight, but this is the litany FR has always accustomed us to.
"Eliminating this tax," the company explains, "would allow Ryanair to achieve ambitious growth for Italy in the coming years, including increasing traffic to 80 million passengers per year, more than 1,500 new jobs for pilots, flight attendants and engineers, 40 additional aircraft (for an investment of $4 billion) and more than 250 new routes through Italian airports."
Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson said, "Ryanair renews its appeal to the government to urgently abolish its short-sighted and regressive decision to raise passenger taxes at Italy's main airports in 2025, calling instead for the complete abolition of this municipal tax at all Italian airports, as the Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Calabria and Abruzzo regions have already done. This would allow Italian airports to benefit from rapid growth in traffic, tourism, and jobs in the coming years, as Ryanair would respond with a $4 billion investment in Italy, adding 40 new aircraft, more than 20 million passengers a year on 250 new routes, and 1,500 new Ryanair jobs in the Italian regions."
