Ryanair Boosts Presence in Murcia with New Winter Route to London Stansted for Winter 2025/26
Ryanair has announced its winter 2025/2026 schedule for Murcia Airport (Spain), which will include a new route to London Stansted, operating four times weekly, alongside increased flight frequencies to Birmingham and Dublin. This operational increase represents a 37% growth in the airline’s capacity in Murcia during the winter season, offering travellers more connection options at competitive fares.
More Flights, More Jobs, and More Tourism for Murcia
The new schedule reinforces Ryanair’s commitment to maintaining connectivity outside the peak season, boosting year-round tourism and supporting over 450 local jobs. This enhancement will provide residents and visitors with consistent access to key destinations in the UK and Ireland.
The airline highlighted that its continued presence at Murcia Airport is part of its commitment to regional development and the expansion of year-round air traffic.

Impact of AENA Charges on National Scheduling
Despite the growth in Murcia, Ryanair confirmed it has been forced to cut one million seats from its overall winter 2025/2026 schedule in Spain. The airline attributes this adjustment to the 6.62% increase in AENA airport charges and “ineffective incentive schemes,” which, according to the company, hinder the profitability of regional airports.
Ryanair, which has historically championed and invested in such airports, emphasized that uncompetitive charges limit its ability to continue expanding operations in certain parts of the country.
Alejandra Ruiz, Ryanair’s spokesperson in Spain, explained: “Ryanair is pleased to present its Winter 2025 schedule for Murcia, with four routes, including a new flight to London Stansted operating four times weekly, plus additional flights to Birmingham and Dublin. This new offering increases Ryanair’s capacity at Murcia Airport by 37%, providing our customers with even more choice at the lowest fares.
Flights Now Available from €24.99
The full Winter 2025/2026 schedule is now available for booking on Ryanair’s website. Fares to and from Murcia are available from €24.99 for travel up to January 2026, a limited offer available until Sunday, 26th October 2025.
