(PRESS RELEASE) BRSITOL, UK, 2026-Feb-23 — /Travel PR News/ — Bristol Airport will see an expanded range of travel options for Summer 2026 as Ryanair introduces a schedule featuring 36 routes, highlighted by the addition of a new service to the Italian coastal city of Bari.
The airline is also boosting flight frequencies on eight existing routes, strengthening connections to well-known leisure destinations such as Alicante and Malaga, alongside popular city break locations including Barcelona and Prague. The enhancements are designed to give travellers in the Southwest greater flexibility and more frequent departures during the peak summer season.
The programme is supported by Ryanair’s five aircraft based at Bristol Airport, representing an investment of approximately $500 million in the region and underpinning the airline’s continued presence at the airport.
Flights under the Summer 2026 schedule are now available to book through Ryanair’s digital channels, with entry-level fares starting from £29.99.
The new Bari service is expected to attract interest from travellers seeking access to southern Italy’s Adriatic coastline, known for its historic streets, waterfront promenade and nearby beaches, while the increased frequencies on existing routes provide additional choice for both holidaymakers and short-break visitors.
