Ryanair Spain Route Replacements: Airlines to Fill the Void
Based on the article,the answer is yes,it’s likely,but not a guarantee,and it’s happening at different speeds.
here’s a breakdown:
Iberia Express: Is already responding by increasing capacity to the Canary Islands, adding 30,000 seats and 116 flights between October 2025 and january 2026.
Wizz Air: Is “finalising a bolstered offering” with almost 40 new routes to be added between March 2025 and March 2026. They are already operating 15 routes to the Canary Islands.
General Trend: The article states that “other airlines are indeed trying to fill the void” left by Ryanair, as reported in Spanish media.Though, there’s a cautionary note: The article points out that when Ryanair cut routes earlier in 2025, no* airline stepped in to replace them. This suggests there’s a risk that some areas of Spain will remain underserved, at least in the short term.
