Schedule analysis shows easyJet, Ryanair and Wizz Air have collectively cut 25 routes from London recently. They all operated sometime between January and October 2026 but have no flights scheduled thereafter, even through 2027, and 13 ended in September or October. In 2026, OAG data shows the trio operates nearly one in two short-haul departures from London (47%), with 200,295 departures available in the year — the first year above 200,000 — averaging 549 daily outbound flights.
easyJet has ended five routes: Luton–Athens and Southend–Grenoble in March, Gatwick–Newquay in August, and Luton–Almeria and Luton–Izmir in October. The carrier reintroduced Gatwick–Newquay in June 2026, but flights ended two months later; the 188-nautical-mile route was served three times a week, and Gatwick–Newquay now has no flights at all.
Ryanair has pulled six routes, most from Stansted: Stansted–Rodez in August, and Luton–Treviso, Luton–Rzeszów, Stansted–Bodrum, Stansted–Dalaman and Stansted–Salerno in October. The cuts include both Bodrum and Dalaman in Turkey, as the airline has entirely pulled out of the country; at Salerno, Ryanair has ended all international flights but continues one domestic route.
Wizz Air has ended 14 routes — more than the other two carriers combined — including Gatwick–Marrakech, Gatwick–Warsaw Chopin, Gatwick–Wrocław, Luton–Amman, Luton–Kraków and Luton–Vienna in March, Gatwick–Jeddah and Gatwick–Medina in July, and Gatwick–Faro, Gatwick–Istanbul Airport, Gatwick–Santorini, Luton–Corfu, Luton–Mykonos and Luton–Zakynthos in October. Its Jeddah and Medina services were flown daily on the Airbus A321XLR with a maximum block time of nearly seven hours.
