Croatian Aviation reports that TUI, a well-known British company specializing in tourist trips from Great Britain to several well-known leisure destinations, including Croatia, has announced its return to Croatia in the upcoming summer flight schedule.
The British subsidiary of this well-known group did not offer holiday packages in Croatia in the 2020 summer flight schedule. As a result, all flights to Croatian airports were canceled, which certainly had a significant impact on the number of passengers, primarily in Dubrovnik and Pula, where TUI has an enviable number of flights per week. It should be emphasized that TUI operated with B787-8 and -9 to Dubrovnik and Pula, aircraft of a substantial capacity, which are primarily intended for long-haul operations.
In the upcoming summer flight schedule, the airline will renew numerous routes to Croatia (as many as 15 to three airports on the coast).
5 lines to Pula Airport
From May, Pula Airport will have as many as five direct routes from Great Britain, and all routes have been announced until the beginning of October:
Birmingham – Pula – Birmingham will operate from May 12 to October 9 twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays,
Bristol – Pula – Bristol will operate from May 8 to October 9, twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays,
Doncaster Sheffield – Pula – Doncaster Sheffield will operate from May 8 to October 9, once a week, on Saturdays,
Manchester – Pula – Manchester will operate from May 8 to October 9, twice a week, Tuesdays and Saturdays,
London – Pula – London will operate from May 8 to October 9, twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
8 lines to Dubrovnik Airport
TUI will return to Dubrovnik with as many as 8 international lines, which is not surprising given that there is traditionally a great interest of British tourists for holidays in Dubrovnik and the surrounding area.
Birmingham – Dubrovnik – Birmingham will operate from May 6 to October 31, twice a week, Thursdays and Sundays,
Bristol – Dubrovnik – Bristol will operate from June 9 to October 31, twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays,
Cardiff – Dubrovnik – Cardiff will operate from May 13 to October 28, once a week, on Thursdays,

Manchester – Dubrovnik – Manchester will operate from May 9 to October 31, twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays,
London – Dubrovnik – London will operate from May 9 to October 31, twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays.
Two lines to Split Airport
Split Airport will have two TUI lines from Great Britain, which will start operating in early May.
London – Split – London will operate from May 10 to October 15, twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays,
Manchester – Split – Manchester will operate from May 10 to October 15, twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays.
British TUI has 15 lines on sale from Great Britain to Dubrovnik, Split, and Pula. There are currently almost 550 return flights on sale for this summer season.
The company could potentially delay the start of traffic to Croatia, which will primarily depend on the epidemiological situation and possible restrictions. Still, its return is certainly good news for all those involved in tourism, especially those oriented to guests from the UK.
