Ryanair adds four winter routes from Porto as it continues network reshuffle

Ryanair started operating four new winter 2026 routes from Porto to Catania, Gdańsk, Poznań and Hamburg, with the first flights to the Polish cities on 25 October and to Catania and Hamburg on 26 October. The launch follows earlier additions of twice‑weekly services from Exeter and Bournemouth to Porto and the reinstatement of the Porto‑Friedrichshafen link. At the same time, Ryanair is withdrawing from a group of airports, with the first closures taking place in January 2026 and further exits scheduled through March 2027, citing higher airport fees and operating costs. The carrier’s winter timetable includes about 395,000 flights offering roughly 76 million seats.
