May 23, 2020 - The latest news from around Croatia’s airports for flights to Croatia with updates from Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik.

Croatian Aviation reports that German leisure company, Condor, announced they'd be resuming regular international lines from several German cities to well-known tourist destinations across Europe, including Split.

Before the outbreak of the pandemic, this German airline regularly flew on seasonal routes from German airports to Rijeka, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik, but in the current summer flight schedule, the lines have not yet started operating.

In its last announcement, the company announced the resumption of operations, and the first line to Croatia will be introduced from the end of June.

From June 26, Condor will fly on two routes to Split:

Frankfurt - Split, from June 26, twice a week (Fridays and Sundays),

Dusseldorf - Split, from June 26, twice a week (Fridays and Sundays).

In addition to these two direct routes, the company, in cooperation with Lufthansa, also offers flights to Hamburg and Munich with short transfers. The mentioned lines will be operated by A320 aircraft, with a capacity of 180 seats.

Tickets are already on sale on the airline's official website. Split will thus be connected to Dusseldorf 3 times a week, considering that Eurowings, as we announced earlier, will fly between these two cities from June 20.

The airline has not yet confirmed the start of traffic from German cities to Zadar, Rijeka and Dubrovnik.

Furthermore, Croatian Aviation reported that Aegean Airlines announced new start dates for operations to destinations in Croatia.

The Greek airline plans to fly to 3 destinations in Croatia: Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb in the current summer flight schedule. The line to Zadar was canceled in 2019.

Athens-Dubrovnik will be in operation twice a week from June 25, wit A320 aircraft. Aircraft of this type at Aegean has a capacity of 174 seats. The increase to five-week flights is planned for July 3.

The Athens-Split line has been announced four times a week from July 6, with the A319 aircraft, with a capacity of 144 seats.

The Athens-Zagreb route will again operate from July 1, three times a week, on A319 and A320 aircraft (capacity 144 and 174 seats, respectively).

Finally, Croatian Aviation reports that Emirates, an airline from the United Arab Emirates, has additionally canceled the start of operations on the Zagreb-Dubai route.

Although this seasonal line was supposed to start operating on the first day of the summer flight schedule, this did not happen due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After that, the company repeatedly delayed the start of operations on this line, and the latest information was that this well-known company would come to the Croatian capital again from July 1 this year.

Emirates usually flies on the Dubai-Zagreb route every day, but due to reduced demand, flights are now postponed until August 1, when the line should start operating with only four flights per week (Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays). B47-300ER aircraft with a capacity of 354 seats have been announced on the route.

Given that this is the only seasonal Emirates route in the entire destination network, there is a high probability that this airline will not return to Zagreb this season.

January 20, 2019 - The latest news from around Croatia’s airports for new flights to Croatia, with updates from Rijeka and Dubrovnik. 

Flights to Croatia: Transavia boosts Rijeka operations 

Dutch low-cost carrier Transavia announced that they are boosting operations between Rijeka and the Netherlands in the heart of the tourist season this year. Namely, Transavia has significantly extended traffic on the route between Eindhoven and Rijeka. Travellers can now buy tickets two months earlier in the pre-season and two months later into the end of the season - or from April 18, 2019, to October 27, 2019. The airline had already announced another weekly flight in the peak season which will run on Tuesdays.

Furthermore, the airline is also selling their fourth weekly flight for the peak season, which will run on Saturdays from July 6, 2019, to August 31, 2019, AvioRadar reports. 

Thus, Transavia will operate between Rijeka and Eindhoven four times a week in the peak season, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The airline will use the Boeing 737-800 aircraft between the two cities. 

Flights to Croatia: Winter charter flights to Dubrovnik 

Greek airline Aegean, which is a Star Alliance member, is operating charter flights from Dubrovnik to Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the Scandinavian countries. The airline already began this service on January 14, which will run until May 12, 2019, AvioRadar reports. 

Last year, the charter flights were operated by Corendon Airlines, which used a Boeing 737-800 aircraft four days a week, from Monday to Thursday. This year, the winter charter flights are working every day, seven days a week with at least two flights, bringing the total to about twice as many charter flights than last year. One Aegean Airbus A320 is permanently based in Dubrovnik for this service. 

The RSD Reisen travel agency is organizing the charter flights for Central European markets and TSS Travel Service Scandinavia for the Scandinavian market. The flights are intended for seniors.
