The expansion also includes routes to Clermont-Ferrand in central France, the Austrian cultural hub of Linz, and the southern Italian city of Reggio Calabria, situated near Sicily - which was once dubbed 'the most beautiful in Italy'.
Reggio Calabria: It's the largest city in the Calabria region, situated on the "toe" of Italy's boot. The city sits on the Strait of Messina, which separates mainland Italy from Sicily. It's known for its beautiful seafront promenade, which the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio called "the most beautiful kilometer in Italy.

Beyond the new routes, Ryanair will increase frequencies on 30 existing London routes, including popular destinations such as Gdansk, Ibiza, Malaga, Milan, Rome, Turin, and Valencia. The expansion will be supported by the addition of a new Boeing aircraft to the London Stansted base, bringing Ryanair's total London-based fleet to 56 aircraft and creating 30 new jobs for pilots, cabin crew, and engineers.
