Ryanair and easyJet’s New UK Routes for Summer 2027

What new UK routes have Ryanair and easyJet announced?

The announcements cover summer 2027, but the two airlines have shared different levels of detail. easyJet has put 18 new routes on sale from 10 UK airports. Ryanair has announced the first 29 new routes in its summer schedule, but the supplied coverage does not set out a full UK route list. ¹²³

That distinction matters if you are comparing places to fly from. The easyJet report gives examples of UK airport connections; the Ryanair announcement describes its broader schedule and network, rather than providing a complete list of UK additions in the material available here. ¹²

• easyJet says its new routes connect UK airports with destinations in eight European countries. ¹
• Ryanair’s 29 routes are the first announced for its summer 2027 schedule, not necessarily the airline’s final total of new routes. ²³

Which UK airports and destinations are included?

The easyJet announcement includes six new routes from Scottish airports and a first Aberdeen-to-Barcelona service. Other examples include Liverpool to Murcia, Gatwick to Ajaccio and Bristol to Montpellier. The airline also plans routes to Girona from Liverpool and Gatwick. ¹

The Liverpool-to-Girona service is scheduled to begin on 28 March, with flights twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays. The Gatwick-to-Girona route is scheduled to start on 3 June, with flights three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. ¹

The report names Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, Montenegro and Bulgaria among the countries served by easyJet’s new routes. It does not list every airport and destination pair in the material provided. ¹

What do the new routes mean for travelers planning ahead?

For travelers, the practical change is more choice of departure airport and destination on the routes that have been announced. A new connection from a nearby airport may be more convenient than traveling to a larger one, but whether it suits a particular trip depends on the dates and schedule available.

The route announcements do not, by themselves, show that fares will be lower or that every service will operate on every day. Ryanair’s announcement says its first new routes are available to book, while the easyJet report says its 18 new routes are on sale. Check the airline’s current booking information for the specific route and travel dates before making plans. ¹²

When do the easyJet flights start, and how often do they run?

The available report gives specific dates and weekly patterns for the two new Girona services: Liverpool begins on 28 March, with two flights weekly, and Gatwick begins on 3 June, with three flights weekly. ¹

Those details should not be taken as the schedule for every new route. The supplied information does not give start dates or frequency for all 18 easyJet additions, or a full timetable for Ryanair’s 29 routes. Schedules can also change, so travelers should confirm details with the airline.

What is still unclear about the summer 2027 routes?

The sources establish the headline totals and give several easyJet examples, but they do not provide a complete route-by-route comparison for both airlines. In particular, the material available here does not identify all 29 Ryanair routes or show which of them depart from UK airports. ¹²³

It also does not settle what the final summer 2027 schedules will look like, how often all the services will operate, or what fares will be for a traveler’s chosen dates. For those details, use the airlines’ current booking pages and check the specific route.
