July 18, 2020 – The latest news from around Croatia’s airports for flights to Croatia with updates from Split and Zadar.
Croatian Aviation reports that Russian Aeroflot has announced the launch of its seasonal line between Moscow and Split. There are currently no announcements about the start of traffic on the line between Moscow – Zagreb.
The Russian national airline, which normally operates throughout the year between Moscow (Sheremetyevo Airport) and Zagreb, and between Moscow and Split in the summer flight schedule, has announced it is resuming traffic to Croatia.
From August 1, the direct line between Moscow – Split will be re-introduced, which will be in traffic every day, with the A321 aircraft, which has a capacity of 183 seats in the fleet of this airline.
At the moment, there are no announcements for the line between Moscow and Zagreb, and all flights that were supposed to take place in August have been withdrawn from sale and are not in the announcement.
Aeroflot has announced a significant change in its business in which the company will focus on intercontinental flights, while subsidiaries Pobeda (a low-budget company) and Rossiya Airlines will take over other routes from the destination network. At the moment, there are no announcements about a change of carrier on the line to Zagreb, but it is likely that Aeroflot will soon implement its plan.
Recall that until the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Aeroflot operated daily between Moscow and Zagreb, both in summer and in winter, while flights to Split operate only in summer.
Furthermore, Ex Yu Aviation reports that Jet2, the low-cost carrier which was supposed to launch services from London Stansted and Manchester to Zadar this summer, has delayed the service until 2021.
Jet2 was initially scheduled to begin on May 21, though it has been delayed several times. Operations from Manchester and London to Zadar should begin on May 23 next year.
