Flights to Croatia: Volotea adds reinforcements to Croatia

Spanish low-cost carrier Volotea announced they were boosting operations on selected routes to Croatia this summer. Reinforcements have been announced to all four airports in Croatia where Volotea operates, AvioRadar reports. 

For starters, the airline has extended the seasonal line between Dubrovnik and Bari, which will now run two weeks earlier and five weeks later – from June 5 to October 2. On the new service between Dubrovnik and Lyon, Volotea has launched a second weekly flight, which will take off on Saturdays. On the Dubrovnik-Nantes service, the third weekly flight will run on Mondays instead of Tuesdays as it did last year. 

Volotea has also significantly extended their season on the Pula-Nantes line, which will run seven weeks earlier and five weeks later, from April 10 to October 30. This year’s new service between Pula and Bordeaux will operate five weeks into the post-season, from June 5 to October 2, as will the new service between Rijeka and Marseille. 

On the line between Split and Marseille, the third weekly flight will run on Tuesdays in the heart of the peak season. Last year’s new service between Split and Nice will see another weekly trip on Wednesdays. And last but not least, the seasonal service between Split and Palermo will be significantly extended, and operate a month earlier and later than usual – from April 10 to October 30. 

Flights to Croatia: Iberia moves focus to Croatia 

The national carrier of Spain will increase capacity to Croatia by 44.6% this summer – and better yet, this is the first year the airline continued flights from Madrid to Zagreb and Dubrovnik over winter, EX-YU Aviation News reports.

On the route from Madrid to Dubrovnik we will offer two additional flights a week in April, May, June, September and October 2019 compared to last year,” the airline said for EX-YU Aviation News.

Thus, Iberia will operate thirteen flights a week to Zagreb. They will also fly from Madrid to Split in July and August five times a week. 

“Most of our passengers fly point to point, but we also have connecting traffic. Among the cities that feed more passengers to our flights from/to Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb last year were New York, Lisbon, Bilbao, Porto, Chicago, Boston and Miami,” Iberia added. The airline also saw passenger a 105% passenger increase on services to and from Croatia in 2018. 

Madrid and Zadar will even be connected two times a week this summer,  from July 2 to August 31.
