Ryanair has unveiled its winter 2025 Dublin schedule – featuring 96 routes, in total, and a flurry of extended frequencies.
The new schedule includes the new service from Dublin to Morocco’s capital, Rabat, which was first announced at the start of the year.
Extra frequencies will be seen on 28 existing routes including to Birmingham, Budapest, Krakow, Milan and Valencia.
To support the growth, Ryanair is adding one further B737 ‘Gamechanger’ plane at Dublin Airport, which will boost the carrier’s fleet in the capital to 35 aircraft.
Ryanair has also unveiled its new corporate gift cards – premium gift cards that can be gifted by Irish companies, to their employees, which are also tax-free up to €1,500, and which can be personalised with the giver’s company logo.
Ryanair’s group chief executive Michael O’Leary noted that the airline’s winter growth at Dublin, this year – which will deliver a projected 9% increase in passenger numbers – is only possible due to the High Court’s suspension of the 32 million traffic cap at the country’s main airport.
He wasted no time in urging the Government to permanently scrap the annual passenger limit at Dublin.
“While this [the High Court suspension] is good news for Irish passengers, tourism, and jobs, we and other airlines need this illegal cap to be urgently abolished by Government if we are to continue to invest in and grow Dublin traffic,“ Mr O’Leary said.
“In January, the new Government promised to scrap the cap “ASAP”, yet last week we were told that it could take until next year – two years of dither and delay! We call on Micheál Martin, Simon Harris and their “do nothing” Government to take immediate action and scrap these illegal caps now. Every week of delay is another week of lost tourism, lost jobs, and lost growth that goes elsewhere in Europe, where there are no illegal traffic caps on airport growth.”
