In September 2026, Ryanair and Wizz Air announced various adjustments to their flight schedules in Poland. Ryanair initially reported suspensions of year-round connections from Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport to London-Luton and Milan-Malpensa due to revised passenger forecasts. Additionally, several airlines announced temporary suspensions of services to Naples throughout November because of runway modernization at Naples International Airport. Later in the month, Ryanair announced a significant expansion of its Polish operations for the winter season. The airline planned to introduce 18 new or restored routes across Warsaw’s two main airports. This included increasing its aircraft base at Warsaw Modlin Airport to support 3.2 million annual passengers and expanding its presence at Warsaw Chopin Airport with seven new connections, primarily targeting Italian destinations. By late September, Ryanair detailed that its Modlin expansion would include 11 new or restored routes to cities such as Zagreb, Birmingham, and Stockholm, supported by an increase in its aircraft base from seven to nine. At Warsaw Chopin Airport, the airline planned to operate 16 routes, including seven new connections to Italian cities like Bari, Bologna, and Venice, as well as Liverpool. This expansion at Chopin was expected to result in a 50 percent year-on-year increase in passengers. In early October, Ryanair announced a workforce expansion in Poland to support these operations, aiming to hire approximately 200 new employees in Warsaw and Wrocław. On October 8, 2026, the airline further detailed its summer 2027 network expansion from Wrocław Airport, introducing three new routes to Birmingham, Burgas, and Catania, each operating twice weekly. Additionally, Ryanair announced four new international routes for the summer 2027 season serving the Puglia region in Italy, including three connections from Bari Karol Wojtyla Airport to Friedrichshafen, Leeds, and Oslo, and a new service from Brindisi Salento Airport to Warsaw.
