As the summer flight schedule is slowly being announced, more routes to Croatia have gone on sale, including to Zadar Airport, reports Croatian Aviation.
New Ryanair summer flights include:
Zadar – Nuremberg – Zadar, from March 29, 2022, twice a week, every Tuesday and Saturday until the end of October,
Zadar – Stockholm Arlanda – Zadar, from March 27, 2022, twice a week, every Wednesday and Sunday, until the end of October,
Zadar – Turin – Zadar, from March 28, 2022, twice a week, every Monday and Friday, also until the end of October.
These new lines will offer almost 70 thousand seats from the end of March to the end of October next year.
Nuremberg will also be Ryanair’s ninth destination in Germany from Zadar (along with Berlin, Bremen, Cologne, Dusseldorf Weeze, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Karlsruhe, and Memmingen), and Stockholm will be the third in Sweden (existing lines to Vaxjo and Gothenburg).
Currently, 39 international Ryanair routes are on sale to and from Zadar Airport.
In addition to the lines to Zadar, Ryanair operates on year-round lines to Zagreb, and next summer, it will be present in Pula, Rijeka, Split, and Dubrovnik.
Furthermore, Croatian Aviation reports that Romania’s low-cost airline, Blue Air, announced two scheduled flights to Croatia in the 2022 summer flight schedule.
Namely, Blue Air has announced seasonal routes to Split and Dubrovnik.
The Romanian low-cost airline operated mainly on charter routes to Croatia in the summer flight schedule this year, specifically to Dubrovnik, with ad-hoc arrivals to other Croatian airports. The airline is now announcing regular operations to Dubrovnik and Split from the Romanian capital.
Bucharest – Split – Bucharest will run from June 23 to September 29, 2022, twice a week, every Thursday and Sunday,
Bucharest – Dubrovnik – Bucharest will operate from June 28 to September 27, 2022, every Tuesday and Saturday, also twice a week.
The airline plans to operate on ad-hoc charter flights to Croatia next summer, mainly for Romanian tour operators selling holiday packages in Istria and the central Adriatic. Blue Air will thus operate on charter flights to Pula and Zadar airports.
When asked about introducing a regular line to Zagreb, Blue Air points out that they are considering several destinations, including the Croatian capital.
Until the beginning of the global pandemic, Croatia Airlines operated three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) between Zagreb and Bucharest in the summer flight schedule. The line was introduced in May 2017 and was in operation every summer until 2020. It is unknown whether Croatia Airlines will resume operations between Bucharest and Zagreb in the summer of 2022.
In addition to two new lines from Split and Dubrovnik, Zadar will also have a regular connection to the Romanian capital. Ryanair will continue to operate between Zadar and Bucharest next summer, twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from March 30 to October 29, 2022.
