Ryanair expands Portugal routes for next summer

The low-cost carrier Ryanair has announced 29 new routes as part of its summer 2027 operational program, strengthening connectivity between Porto and the United Kingdom and Germany.

Notable additions include two new connections from southwest England—with twice-weekly flights departing from Exeter and Bournemouth airports—as well as the resumption of the route to Friedrichshafen in southern Germany.

These new routes to Porto are part of the Irish airline’s broader European expansion, which also includes new connections to markets such as Spain, Italy, Poland, and Greece, all featuring promotional launch fares.

Meanwhile, for the 2026–2027 winter season, Ryanair plans to offer nearly 76 million seats across approximately 395,000 flights; the airline intends to maintain stable overall capacity while adjusting annual traffic targets to offset the impact of fuel costs and mitigate seasonal losses.
