December 19, 2018 — The list of Ryanair flights to Zadar is expanding in 2019. The bargain Irish airline announced new connections to Krakow, Poznan and Milan Bergamo.
The flights will run twice a week, and be a part of the regular summer schedule for Zadar in 2019.
The area’s tourism industry has a love-hate relationship with the bargain airline. Ryanair flights, some claim, have been a mixed blessing for the coastal town.Zadar effectively pays Ryanair to fly there. In exchange, the company brings a horde of summer tourists.
The town’s tourism-dependent workers and apartment owners have questioned the benefit of the relationship, especially the municipally-financed subsidy. In public forums and gatherings, questions often arise if Ryanair’s travelers fit Zadar’s target demographic. Can tourists using bargain bin prices lead to “quality” tourism?
The new flights to Poznan and Bergamo will begin on April 1, while flights to Krakow start April 3.
The new routes come atop recently-added Ryanair flights to Zadar from Cologne, Hamburg, Nuremberg, as well as Prague.
Ryanair flights to Zadar have so far included 16 routes to six countries. The additions will bring the total number of Ryanair flights to Zadar to 40 per week in 2019.
To celebrate, Ryanair is offering Croatian travelers a discount on flights to the company’s entire European network. Tickets cost EUR 15 for travel in April and only EUR 20 for flights in May. The price cut is available until Thursday, Dec. 20 at midnight.
