Ryanair adds five new routes from Birmingham this winter, including Warsaw

In its winter 2026 schedule, Ryanair will expand its presence at Birmingham Airport. The Irish airline will station a ninth aircraft there, allowing it to launch five new routes.

Where you will be able to fly from Birmingham

The new routes cover five destinations: Copenhagen, Rome, Warsaw, Marrakesh and Tirana. According to Polish Express, Ryanair's network from Birmingham will grow to 40 destinations in the winter season.

The airline will also increase the frequency of flights on existing routes, including to Barcelona, Budapest and Poznań.

Investment and jobs

The new routes are linked to an investment worth 900 million dollars. Ryanair wants this to raise the number of passengers it carries from Birmingham to four million a year.

A company representative, quoted by Polish Express, announced a 21% increase in air traffic at Birmingham and dozens of new local jobs. According to that statement, Ryanair already supports 3,270 jobs in the region.

What this means for you

People living in the Birmingham area who fly to Poland will gain an additional connection to Warsaw and more frequent flights to Poznań. However, the source gives no start dates for the new routes, no weekly flight numbers and no ticket prices. It is worth checking the schedule and availability on the airline's website.

According to money.pl, Ryanair is also expanding its winter offer at Warsaw airports. A new route from Warsaw Modlin to Birmingham is due to start, and Ryanair announces 11 new routes there in total. So this concerns the same connection in the opposite direction. The sources do not specify which Warsaw airport the flights from Birmingham will use.
