Ryanair adds Naples and Milan routes from Poland

Ryanair will add three Italy services from Poland in its 2026/27 winter schedule: Warsaw and Katowice to Naples, and Gdańsk to Milan Malpensa. The Warsaw and Gdańsk routes are due to start on 25 October 2026. Katowice–Naples is scheduled for 3 December 2026. On part of the network, Ryanair will compete with Wizz Air.

Warsaw gets daily Naples flights

The first new Naples route will operate from Warsaw Chopin Airport. According to Pasazer.com and Fly4free.pl, Ryanair has scheduled daily flights, departing Warsaw at 09:15. The return flight from Naples is due to leave at 06:30.

Wizz Air is also present on Warsaw–Naples. That puts two low-cost carriers on the same route from the same Warsaw airport.

Katowice starts on 3 December

Katowice–Naples is due to start on 3 December 2026. Ryanair has scheduled four weekly flights on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. Departures from Katowice Airport are planned for 11:50, with returns from Naples at 14:20.

The December launch means the route will not start with the opening of the winter schedule. Michał Kaczmarzyk, general manager of Buzz within Ryanair Group, said on 22 May 2026 that one of the group’s Polish bases may receive an additional aircraft in 2026. He did not name the airport.

Gdańsk adds Malpensa

Ryanair is due to start Gdańsk–Milan Malpensa on 25 October 2026. According to Pasazer.com, the airline has scheduled four weekly flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

In the 2026/27 winter season, Wizz Air is also due to operate Gdańsk–Milan Malpensa four times a week: on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Ryanair also plans to keep its Gdańsk–Bergamo service, with five weekly flights.

Ryanair moves onto Wizz Air routes

The new services are not uncontested routes. Wizz Air is present on the Naples and Milan Malpensa routes, while Ryanair has recently added other Gdańsk routes already served by the Hungarian carrier.

Kaczmarzyk rejected the view on 22 May 2026 that Ryanair had selected the routes to trigger a fare war. He said route decisions are based on commercial viability and aircraft use.

More Milan options from Pomerania

For business travel, Gdańsk–Milan Malpensa is the most relevant part of the update. If Ryanair keeps Bergamo and adds Malpensa, its schedule would give travellers from Pomerania two airports in the Milan area: Malpensa and Bergamo.
