The flights currently operate twice weekly and are available to purchase via ryanair.com.
The success of the new destinations was announced late in October with Ryanair’s Communications Director, Jade Kirwan, commenting that “we were pleased to see the first flights of our new Winter 2025 routes from Newcastle take off this weekend, carrying lots of cheerful passengers heading away for some well-warranted winter sun and city break exploration.”
However, hopeful travellers should be warned - some of the destinations will run for a limited time only.
..the addition of these new destinations "reflects the growing demand for even more connectivity from the North-East to key European destinations."
Flights to Budapest will run until April, while flights to Gdansk will run only during November and December, however they will return for the summer season.
The introduction of these new destinations comes alongside the exciting announcement of a fifth new destination: flights to Wroclaw will commence operation in December!
The five new destinations are all provided by Ryanair, who currently operate 17 flights to and from Newcastle over the winter months.
The Director for Aviation development at Newcastle International Airport, Leon McQuaid, described the new flights as “fantastic” and claimed that the addition of these new destinations "reflects the growing demand for even more connectivity from the North-East to key European destinations."
