Flights to Croatia: Air Baltic Operates to Rijeka, Split, Dubrovnik this Summer
February 1, 2021 - The latest news for flights to Croatia as Air Baltic operates to Rijeka, Split, Dubrovnik this summer.
Croatian Aviation reports that Air Baltic, Latvia's national carrier, plans to operate to three Croatian airports this summer.
Namely, in the upcoming summer flight schedule, the Latvian national airline plans to connect the Baltic with three leisure destinations in Croatia. In total, it will offer slightly more weekly operations to Croatia than was the case in the previous crisis year.
Two lines to Dubrovnik
Direct flights between Riga and Dubrovnik are available from May 1. The airline will operate on this line twice a week, on Thursdays and Saturdays, until the end of the season, on October 30. In total, over 15,000 seats will be available between Riga and Dubrovnik in both directions.
Dubrovnik will also be connected with Vilnius. The Vilnius - Dubrovnik line will be open from June 4 to October 29, once a week. All Air Baltic routes will be operated by A220-300 aircraft with a capacity of 145 seats. The airline will offer just over 6,300 seats on this line.
Line to Split three times a week
Air Baltic will re-establish the Riga-Split route. The start of traffic on this line is announced for May 3, twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays. From June 30, the third flight of the week is introduced, every Wednesday. In total, in the upcoming season, Air Baltic will have as many as 60 return flights between Split and Riga, with as many as 17,400 seats on sale in both directions.
Riga - Rijeka from July
Much later than in previous years, this carrier will establish traffic to Rijeka Airport. The Riga - Rijeka line will operate from July 1 to October 4, twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. During this period, Air Baltic will offer just over 8,000 seats between Kvarner and the capital of Latvia.
Air Baltic will operate A220-300 aircraft with a capacity of 145 seats on all routes to Croatia.

Flights to Croatia: Air Baltic Maintains Dubrovnik in September, All Other Routes Canceled?
September 5, 2020 - The latest news for flights to Croatia as Air Baltic maintains Dubrovnik-Vilnius and likely cancels all other Croatia lines.
Croatian Aviation reports that according to the original plan, Air Baltic, the national carrier of Latvia based in Riga, was supposed to operate on four routes to Croatia in September, but this will not happen. Only one international line remains active.
Air Baltic started regular traffic to Croatia very early, back in June, and was also the first international line after a complete lockdown to Rijeka Airport. The company operates new A220 aircraft on all routes to Croatia.
The Riga - Dubrovnik route has been announced once a week in September, every Monday, but the company has been canceling flights on this route for some time. Currently, flights from September 14 are on sale again, but it is quite certain that they will also be canceled.
The Riga - Split line is also announced once a week through September, every Friday, though this line should see the same fate - the company ran the last flight on this line on August 21, while all flights after that date were canceled. Air Baltic has been offering flights on this route until September 18, but as is the case with the Dubrovnik route, it is obvious that they will not return to Split this year and will cancel the mentioned flights.
On the Riga - Rijeka line, the last flight operated on August 19, though it was originally planned that the last flight would be on September 16. However, in the meantime, all departures have been canceled and the company no longer offers direct flights between the two cities.
The last, fourth Air Baltic line, also a completely new line that started operating this year, Vilnius - Dubrovnik, is the only one that operates regularly, and Air Baltic plans to maintain it until the end of this month (September 25), once a week, every Friday.
