September 17, 2020 – The latest news for flights to Croatia as Lufthansa announces Frankfurt-Rijeka in 2021.

Croatian Aviation reports that Germany’s Lufthansa announced on Wednesday that it would introduce 14 new international routes from its base in Frankfurt in the summer flight schedule in 2021. Among others, the Frankfurt – Rijeka line is being introduced.

In the summer flight schedule, Lufthansa operates to five destinations in Croatia from Frankfurt: Zagreb, Pula, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik, and from next summer season, the sixth destination in Croatia – Rijeka Airport will be added to the list.

On the line from Frankfurt, Ryanair used to operate to Rijeka, which moved its operations to Hahn this summer season, so Rijeka was without a direct flight with the main Frankfurt airport.

On the line between Frankfurt and Rijeka in the summer season of 2019, the German Condor also operated twice a week, but this year it did not launch that line due to the global pandemic. It will be interesting to see if this German airline returns to Rijeka in the 2021 season.

The new Lufthansa line will operate in the evening: departure from Frankfurt is scheduled for 17:35, and arrival in Rijeka at 19:00. The return flight will depart from Rijeka at 8 pm, while the arrival in Frankfurt is planned at 9:30 pm. The company leaves the possibility of adding more weekly flights on this route, which will primarily depend on the state of bookings. This company operates on the Munich – Rijeka route in the summer flight schedule, but this year it is not in traffic due to the impact of the global pandemic.

Tickets on this new line are already on sale on the Lufthansa website, and all tickets purchased through December 31 this year are flexible which means passengers are entitled to an unlimited number of travel date changes.

This is the third completely new line announced for next year’s summer flight schedule. We remind you that Ryanair previously announced a new line Vienna – Pula, while TAP Portugal announced the introduction of the Lisbon – Zagreb line a few days ago.
