Croatian Aviation reports that well-known low-cost airline Transavia plans to resume traffic to Split Airport from mid-April.
The Dutch low-cost airline, a subsidiary of KLM and Air France, will renew only one route to Croatia in April.
Although the company normally operates on as many as 10 international routes to as many as five Croatian airports (Pula, Rijeka, Zadar, Split, and Dubrovnik), the company will resume traffic on only one route in the middle of this month.
Namely, the Paris – Split – Paris (Orly Airport) will operate from April 16 with two flights a week, every Friday and Sunday.
All other lines to Croatia have been postponed for the middle, and most even for the end of May:
- Rotterdam – Split,
- Nantes – Dubrovnik,
- Pariz – Dubrovnik,
- Rotterdam – Dubrovnik,
- Eindhoven – Rijeka,
- Pariz – Zadar,
- Rotterdam – Zadar,
- Pariz – Pula,
- Rotterdam – Pula
Transavia plans to operate on all of these lines in the high season but reduced compared to the number of operations the company had in 2019 before the global pandemic.
Paris and Split will be connected by a direct line again from mid-April. There have been no direct flights between the two cities since the end of October last year, i.e., the end of the summer flight schedule. Orly Airport is a little less than 20 kilometers from the center of Paris. The journey on this route usually takes a little less than 60 minutes.
In addition to Transavia, there should be other airlines between Paris and Split in the peak of the summer season; Air France, Croatia Airlines, and EasyJet.
Split Airport, along with Zagreb, is the only airport in Croatia to which several foreign carriers are returning in April. The traffic is still modest, but according to the announcements, that should change as early as May. According to the mentioned announcements, Split Airport should have a significantly higher number of aircraft operations on regular routes this season than in the summer of 2020, when Split, along with Zagreb, had a significant number of passengers in the crisis, pandemic year.
