October 29, 2019 – The latest news from around Croatia’s airports for new flights to Croatia with updates from Split.
Avio Radar reports that Great Dane Airlines, a new Danish airline that only started operating in June this year, has announced its 2020 summer flight schedule, which includes its first line to Croatia. Namely, Great Dane will run between Aalborg and Split once a week, on Saturdays, from June 26 to August 29, 2020. This is a brand new line that is not operated by any other airlines, and will run in cooperation with Scandinavian travel agency Appolo Reiser.
There are currently two Embraer ERJ-195 aircraft in the Great Dane fleet. The main operating base is at the Aalborg Airport in northern Denmark. This summer, it ran seven seasonal routes to Bulgaria, France, Ireland, Greece, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and next month, it will begin operating on the first two scheduled routes to Sweden.
Avio Radar also reports that British carrier TUI Airways has added a new flight from England to Split in 2020. Namely, TUI will service Split from Birmingham once a week, on Fridays, from May 1 to October 9, 2020. A Boeing 737-800 aircraft will fly on this line. It is also the third TUI Airways flight to Split next year, with the addition of the existing routes from London (Gatwick) and Manchester.
Recall, TUI Airways increased capacity in their post-season route from London (Gatwick) to Rijeka this month. Specifically, the larger Boeing 757-200 aircraft ran on this line, instead of the smaller Boeing 737-800, with three arrivals on Thursdays from October 3 to 17.
In other TUI news, their Belgium branch announced a new route between Brussels and Pula in its 2020 summer flight schedule. Namely, this line will begin operations from April 25, 2020, with two flights a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays. A Boeing 737-800 aircraft will serve this line.
Two more trips will be offered next year – from Brussels to Dubrovnik on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and Antwerp to Split on Mondays and Fridays.
