Lågprisbolaget Ryanair satsar ytterligare på Sverige inför vintersäsongen 2025, meddelar bolaget på en pressträff.
Flygbolaget lägger till åtta nya flygrutter från Arlanda, Landvetter, Västerås och Växjö. Totalt kommer flygbolaget att ha 48 flygrutter från fem svenska flygplatser. Bolaget räknar med omkring 400 avgångar per vecka.
Bland annat kommer flygbolaget att börja flyga mellan Stockholm och Sarajevo. Flygbolaget kommer även att börja flyga till Porto, Malta, Milano och Thessaloniki från Göteborg under vintersäsongen. Från Växjö kommer avgångar till Alicante att tillkomma medan Västerås får avgångar till Alicante och Malaga.
Sju flygplan kommer att ingå i den svenska flygplansflottan, vilket är två fler än förra vintersäsongen.

Ryanair’s CMO Dara Brady said:
“Ryanair is proud to deliver another season of strong growth in Sweden, with a record Winter ’25 schedule – over 4.3 million passengers p.a. across 48 routes from 5 airports, including 8 exciting new destinations. Our $700M investment in 7 based aircraft is supporting more than 3,400 local jobs, reinforcing our commitment to driving tourism, connectivity, and economic development in Sweden.
We responded immediately to the Government’s decision to scrap the Aviation Tax from 1 Jul ’25. Ryanair’s additional $200M investment for Summer ’25, including 2 new based aircraft and 10 new routes, is already driving more traffic, jobs, and tourism and this rapid expansion continues into Winter, where we will deliver +25% growth and 8 new routes thanks to the new year-round based aircraft in Arlanda and Gothenburg. While Ryanair continues to invest and grow across Sweden, flag carrier SAS remains at 81% of pre-Covid traffic levels, focusing on its Copenhagen hub and leaving Stockholm and other key regions poorly served.
However, to sustain this momentum and fully seize the opportunity left by underperforming legacy carriers, the broader cost environment must remain competitive. While the Government’s decision to abolish the Aviation Tax is a major step forward, Swedavia’s continual increases in airport charges risk offsetting this progress. To fully unlock the benefits of this tax abolition, it’s essential that airport charges remain stable and cost-competitive to support further airline investment, traffic growth, and lower fares for Swedish consumers. If these conditions are secured, Ryanair is prepared to double its Swedish traffic to over 8 million passengers annually, base six additional aircraft, operate more than 150 routes, and create 6,000 jobs by 2030.
To celebrate Ryanair’s Winter 2025 schedule in Sweden and this continued growth, Ryanair has launched a 3-day seat sale with fares from just SEK 249, only at ryanair.com.”
