It will be the budget airline’s largest ever summer flight programme from Cardiff Airport, with routes up 18 per cent year-on-year.
The Alicante and Dublin services are Ryanair’s most popular routes from the regional airport.
Flights to Alicante will operate every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday throughout the summer.
The summer Alicante service will begin operating again on March 30, with flights running until October 24.
Sun Online Travel have found one-way fares from Cardiff to one-way fares for £26.91.
Located on the Costa Blanca coastline, Alicante has previously been described as one of Spain’s sunniest cities.
As part of its summer schedule, flights to Dublin will operate every day apart from Wednesday.
The summer schedule will launch at the beginning of April, with Sun Online Travel finding one-way fares from £14.99.
Ryanair will continue to operate services to Faro, Malaga and Tenerife from Cardiff Airport.
The boosted schedule means Ryanair will be operating 16 outbound flights every week from Cardiff Airport.
Lee Smith, Head of Business Development at Cardiff Airport, said: “It’s fantastic to see Ryanair continuing to grow with us at the Airport.
“This summer there’ll be 32 weekly flights (16 outbound and 16 inbound). These low-cost flights are crucial for Welsh tourism and for business and leisure travellers.
“We’ve seen huge demand from our customers for more low-cost travel from their National Airport. We look forward to working with the team at Ryanair to continue growing in Wales.”
The news comes after Ryanair recently scrapped several popular routes across Europe.
This included Ryanair scrapping 800,000 seats across 12 routes in Spain.
Services in France could also be cut, with the airline threatening to scrap flights from 10 airports.
Routes in the UK have been impacted, with the Irish airline dropping its route from Bournemouth to Agadir.
However, it’s not all bad news, with Ryanair launching five new flights from London Stansted to destinations across Europe.
