Ryanair, Poland’s No.1 airline, today (Fri, 29 May) announced a record W2026 schedule for Warsaw, with 46 routes (12 new), and traffic growing to 4m passengers p.a. at Warsaw’s 2 airports, driven by capacity growth at both Warsaw Modlin and Chopin.

Ryanair will base 2 new aircraft at Modlin, bringing its total based fleet to 8 aircraft, representing a further $200m investment. This expansion will support 30 routes, including 5 new destinations, and double Ryanair’s annual traffic at Modlin from 1.5m to over 3.2m passengers. At Warsaw Chopin, Ryanair will also significantly grow its Winter 2026 schedule, adding 7 new routes, bringing its Chopin network to 16 routes, and growing traffic by over 50% to 800,000 passengers p.a., offering unbeatable low fares and more choice from Poland’s largest airport.

Ryanair continues to grow strongly in Warsaw and across Poland, with year‑round expansion at both Modlin and Chopin. Modlin remains Ryanair’s fastest growing Polish airport, under a multi‑year agreement that is delivering new terminal capacity, more routes and lower fares for the Mazovia region, while at Warsaw Chopin, Ryanair is steadily building its route network so that passengers who prefer Poland’s main airport, can also enjoy more route choices at really low fares.

To celebrate Ryanair’s record Warsaw W2026 growth from Modlin and Chopin, the airline has launched a 3-day seat sale with fares from just 134 PLN available to book now on ryanair.com/the Ryanair app.

Ryanair’s CEO Michael O’Leary said:

“As Poland’s No.1 airline, Ryanair is pleased to announce record growth in Warsaw, with 2 more based aircraft in Modlin for W2026, bringing our total Modlin fleet to 8 aircraft – an $800m investment, supporting over 2,500 local jobs, including 240 high-pay pilot and cabin crew jobs. With these 2 new aircraft, Ryanair will deliver a record W2026 schedule for Warsaw Modlin, including 5 new routes to Bratislava, Bristol, Manchester, Shannon, and Zagreb, which will see Warsaw Modlin traffic double to over 3.2m passengers p.a.

At the same time, we are rapidly expanding our network at Warsaw Chopin, where we will operate 16 routes this Winter, including 7 new routes to Bari, Bologna, Catania, Liverpool, Naples, Turin and Venice, and grow traffic by over 50% to 800,000 passengers. Across Warsaw’s 2 airports, Ryanair will deliver even more choice, more competition and Europe’s lowest fares for Warsaw citizens and visitors to enjoy in W2026.

Ryanair’s year‑round growth at both Modlin and Chopin is great news for Warsaw and for Polish consumers – more routes, more competition and much lower air fares than any other airline.
