Ryanair reduces capacity on Rome

Ryanair today announced the removal of an aircraft based at Fiumicino for summer 2025, with a reduction in investment of $100 million, and the absence of traffic growth at Ciampino. The decision is attributed to a number of factors: the restrictive limit of 65 daily flights at Ciampino, the increase in airport fares (+44% at Ciampino and +15% at Fiumicino by 2028) and the increase in the municipal surcharge on passengers, already higher in Rome than in other Italian airports and set to grow further from 1 April 2025.

 

The airline has asked the Italian government to:

• Increase the limit of daily flights at Ciampino from 65 to 130, to adapt to the standards of other European capitals such as Brussels, London and Paris, which operate without restrictions.
• Eliminate the municipal surcharge in all Italian airports, following the example of regions such as Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Calabria and Abruzzo, as well as countries such as Sweden and Poland, which have reduced or abolished aviation taxes to stimulate traffic growth.

Ryanair also urged Aeroporti di Roma (AdR) to:

• Freeze airport fee increases until 2028, as increases approved by the Transport Regulation Authority (ART) exacerbate costs for companies and passengers, despite AdR receiving significant financial support during the pandemic.
