Ryanair puts 20.8m UK seats on sale for summer 2025

Ryanair has laid on more than 20 million seats to and from the UK for its summer 2025 schedule.

The airline said it “continues to deliver more choice at the lowest fares in Europe” as it revealed 20.8 million seats had gone on sale.

The announcement comes after the budget carrier said it would start operating flights to Malaga from Teesside airport next summer, claiming a service to the Costa del Sol resort had been the most requested by its passengers.

Further details of departure points, frequencies and new destinations are yet to be outlined.

Ryanair head of communications Jade Kirwan said: “Ryanair is pleased to announce the launch of our summer 2025 schedule with 20.8 million seats available, as we continue to deliver more choice, reliability, and the lowest fares in Europe.

“Ryanair’s exciting new summer 2025 schedule is available to book now.”

Earlier in November, Ryanair warned that the risk of further aircraft delivery delays “remains high” as it reported an 18% dive in half-year profits.

Net profit at the no-frills carrier fell year on year to €1.79 billion as strong traffic growth of 9% to 115 million passengers was offset by lower airfares, which declined 7% in the peak summer second quarter.  

The airline’s boss, Michael O’Leary, also said its flights could be cut by “up to 10%” in 2025 due to the latest rise in Air Passenger Duty.

The slashed capacity could represent up to five million passengers, claimed O’Leary.
