May 21, 2019 – The latest news from around Croatia’s airports for new flights to Croatia with updates from Dubrovnik, Pula, and Rijeka airports.
AvioRadar reports on May 19, 2019, that Czech airline Smartwings began ticket sales from Poland to Dubrovnik. Namely, the Czech carrier is operating charter lines for Polish Travel Service Polska, the daughter company of Rainbow Tours. The Katowice lines to Dubrovnik, as well as the Warsaw-Dubrovnik connection, are now available for sale as regular seasonal lines beginning on June 6, 2019. The charter flights between Warsaw and Dubrovnik began earlier.
Both lines will operate once a week, on Thursdays, until September 26, 2019. The third charter line between Gdansk and Dubrovnik will remain the same as last year and will have no tickets available for sale via Smartwings. Unlike last year, the charter lines between Bydgoszcz and Szczecin are no longer running. The previously announced charter line between Lodz and Dubrovnik has not been realized.
The Boeing 737-800 will operate on all lines.
AvioRadar also reports that British low-cost airline EasyJet will boost operations on the route between Pula and Gatwick (London) from June. In addition to last year’s three flights a week, which ran on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, new flights will operate on Mondays and Sundays from June 24 to September 9, 2019.
In addition to the Gatwick route, EasyJet also operates a trip from Southend Airport in London to Pula, which circulates twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays, just like last year.
Thus, EasyJet will run seven flights a week between Pula and London. The Airbus A319 or the Airbus A320 will fly on these routes.
To conclude this Croatian flight announcement, TUI Airways has postponed its new route between Manchester and Rijeka, which is not even available yet for the summer of 2020.
However, TUI’s offer still includes one flight a week, on Thursdays, between Gatwick (London) and Rijeka. This route will operate from May 23 to October 17, 2019.
