What’s New – Airport by Airport
From Gothenburg (Landvetter):
- Porto and Malta are joining the roster, both starting late October 2025 - so therefore get ready for some Mediterranean warmth even when it’s -10°C at home.
From Stockholm (Arlanda):
- There are 13 new winter routes taking off, including a fresh link to Sarajevo. They’re really doubling down on connecting Sweden to more of Europe.
From Växjö and Västerås:
- Växjö gets a new route to Alicante, while Västerås gets flights to Alicante and Malaga. Beach time incoming.
Why It Matters
This expansion isn't just about launching more flights - it's Ryanair’s celebration of Sweden scrapping its aviation tax on 1 July 2025, which paved the way for a $200 million summer investment in two new based aircraft, ten new routes, and 60 extra jobs.

CEO Dara Brady says this growth supports over 3,400 Swedish jobs, and with cheaper costs, therefore Ryanair hopes to double its Swedish traffic to 8 million passengers annually by 2030, with 6 more based jets, 150 routes, and 6,000 jobs on the horizon.
Travel Report
The Takeaway
Sweden just got a major upgrade in winter travel options—from sun-soaked islands like Malta and Porto to culturally rich cities like Sarajevo. Whether you're itching for Flamenco or thermal baths, Ryanair’s expanded schedule means more chances to pack your passport and go.
Just one warning: with more routes and more choice, your FOMO may skyrocket. But hey—what’s life without a little healthy travel envy?
