Aberdeen Airport boosts winter schedule with more flights to Krakow and Alicante
Flights from Aberdeen to Krakow and Alicante are continuing into next year, Ryanair has confirmed.
The low-cost airline's services to the Polish and Spanish cities will boost Aberdeen International Airport's winter schedule.
Ryanair launched its Aberdeen to Krakow route just last month, offering passengers a direct route between the two cities.
Tickets were originally available to book until October.
However, it has now been confirmed the flights will continue to operate into next year.
This will give north-east passengers the opportunity to visit the city during the winter months – and its popular Christmas markets.
The flights to John Paul II International Airport will continue to operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Tickets for the route, operated by Polish airline Buzz, can now be booked via the Ryanair website up to March 2026.
Meanwhile, flights to Alicante will run three times weekly as demand for winter sun destinations from the north-east increases.
These journeys will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays until the end of October, and then on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays until March next year.
This marks the return of the route to the Spanish city being a year-round operation after it was cut to summer-seasonal a few years ago.
A spokesperson for Aberdeen International Airport said: 'We are thrilled Ryanair is expanding its operation from Aberdeen and will now serve the region on a year-round basis.
'The continuation of flights to Krakow, which have proved very popular so far, and the reinstatement of winter flights to Alicante reflects our commitment to providing diverse and convenient travel opportunities for our passengers and highlights the underlying demand in the region to justify these services.
'We look forward to welcoming more travellers this winter and enhancing their travel experience via the convenience of Aberdeen International Airport.'

Ryanair introduces new £500 minimum charge for some passengers
Ryanair introduces new £500 minimum charge for some passengers It comes as the airline takes action in a bid to make one passenger pay more than £12,000 A Ryanair Boeing 737-8AS takes off from Toulouse Blagnac Airport in Toulouse Disruptive Ryanair passengers removed from planes will be fined £500, the airline has announced. The carrier said this will be the 'minimum' punishment, and it will continue to pursue passengers for civil damages. Ryanair expressed hope the new policy will 'act as a deterrent to eliminate this unacceptable behaviour'. A spokesperson for the airline said: 'It is unacceptable that passengers are made to suffer unnecessary disruption because of one unruly passenger's behaviour. 'To help ensure that our passengers and crew travel in a comfortable and stress-free environment, without unnecessary disruption caused by a tiny number of unruly passengers, we have introduced a £500 fine, which will be issued to any passengers offloaded from aircraft as a result of their misconduct. 'While these are isolated events which happen across all airlines, disruptive behaviour in such a confined shared space is unacceptable.' Ryanair has repeatedly called for a limit of two alcoholic drinks per passenger to be introduced at airport bars in response to an increase in disorder on flights. It claims this would result in 'a safer travel experience for passengers and crews'.

Ryanair announced in January it had started taking legal action to recover losses from disruptive passengers, as part of what it described as a 'major misconduct clampdown'. It said it filed civil legal proceedings against a passenger in Ireland to seek 15,000 euros (£12,600) in damages related to a flight from Dublin to Lanzarote which diverted to Porto in April last year. Ryanair contends the passenger's behaviour caused the diversion.
