June 17, 2022 - The latest flight news to Croatia as easyJet Croatia flight cancellations in July have been announced from London. 

British low-cost airline easyJet will reduce the number of weekly rotations between London and three Croatian airports in July. There are cancellations on the mentioned lines in June, and they will continue in the peak summer season, Croatian Aviation.

Namely, easyJet is reducing the number of weekly rotations on lines between London (Gatwick), Pula, Rijeka, and Split. There were cancellations of certain departures on these lines in June as well, and the same will continue in July. The airline has currently canceled flights until the first half of July, on time, thus avoiding compensating passengers in accordance with regulation 261.

The line between Pula and London was planned daily in July, for a total of 31 return flights, but the airline canceled all flights on Tuesdays and additional flights on Fridays on July 1, 8, and 15. 2,400 fewer seats are now available on the line next month.

The line between Rijeka and London was originally announced twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, but several easyJet flights have already been canceled in June. Instead of a total of 9 planned rotations in July, seven have now been announced, namely, flights were canceled on Tuesdays, July 5 and 12.

On the line between Split and London (Gatwick Airport), easyJet originally announced two to four daily flights for July. There were cancellations on some departures, also in the first half of July, so the total monthly number of operations on this line in July is currently reduced from the planned 99 to 95.

Given that easyJet will operate at least twice a day on the mentioned route every day in July, passengers will be offered the option to make their trip on a replacement flight, which is not the case on the line between London and Rijeka, given the relatively small number of weekly operations. Croatian airports are no exception. EasyJet has reduced operations on more than 50 flights from Gatwick Airport in London for next month, citing a shortage of staff at London Airport and the company that handles aircraft at the airport.

Yesterday, easyJet reduced its flight schedule from Berlin in July, but there are no canceled flights on the routes to Croatia so far.

February 1, 2022 - An agreement was reached to once again connect the English capital with the third-largest city in Croatia, and EasyJet returns to Rijeka airport after 15 years, with two weekly flights between May and October.

Rijeka airport announced the return of the English low-cost airline to the island of Krk. After fifteen years of absence, EasyJet will connect the third largest city in Croatia with London Gatwick.

The airline also confirmed the news, adding that it will operate between May and October 2022, with two weekly flights on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

"EasyJet deserves record airport traffic"

Rijeka airport welcomed the news that after announcing the return of Ryanair, Condor Airlines, and AirSerbia, the well-known company EasyJet will also join them this year. It is one of the most important low-cost airlines in the British market, and in 2006 and 2007 it was responsible for a large part of the international air traffic at Rijeka airport.

As EasyJet returns to Rijeka airport, the city expects this year the recovery of international traffic in the region, and also a record number of passengers arriving between May and October.

More tourists from the UK are expected

They state that after many years of negotiations between Rijeka Airport and EasyJet, a consensus was reached and that in talks with representatives of the relevant ministry, county, local units, hotels, and tourist boards, support and guarantees for promotional activities in the region were provided.

These activities are necessary to better position Kvarner in the British market, so it is planned to encourage and increase the number of arrivals of guests from that market, which now accounts for less than 1 percent of overnight stays in Kvarner, said Rijeka Airport.

The city of Rijeka considers it necessary to reinforce its tourist offer and its strategy to attract international guests, after a couple of years of a pandemic that affected the development of the activities planned for Rijeka 2020: European Capital of Culture and the traditional carnival of the city being canceled in both 2021 and 2022.

November 23, 2021 - The latest news on flights to Croatia as 4 easyJet summer lines to Dubrovnik and Split have been canceled for the 2022 season. 

The British low-cost airline easyJet has canceled some seasonal routes to Croatia, despite announcing that the airline will significantly increase its capacity to Croatian airports next summer. This is due to financial troubles, which began before the pandemic, reports Croatian Aviation.

As the Ex Yu Aviation announced earlier, easyJet withdrew three lines to Dubrovnik and one to Split. The airline claims that the lines with the least passenger interest were withdrawn from sale.

Namely, lines between Luton, Milan, Toulouse, and Dubrovnik are no longer on sale, and the line between Belfast and Split has been canceled. In addition, the airline has not launched several other lines to Croatia this summer season, justifying the move by low demand due to the pandemic.

easyJet currently offers 40 international routes to Croatia next summer, but there will be operational changes at the beginning of the summer season. The Croatian Tourist Board points out that the airline showed great interest in Croatia at the World Travel Market in London, and even announced negotiations with Rijeka and Osijek on establishing regular routes to the two mentioned airports.

For now, the largest number of easyJet lines is offered to Split (14), Dubrovnik (12), Pula (9), and Zadar (5).

The airline also points out that they will announce new routes to Croatia in the coming months, emphasizing the importance of Croatia as a traditional destination of this airline. Negotiations on introducing new lines for next summer are underway. It should be noted that easyJet is one of the largest users of joint advertising, for which the Croatian Tourist Board is announcing a tender.

Croatian Aviation adds that easyJet is slowly but surely losing its share of transported passengers on the Croatian market, primarily due to the new lines of Ryanair and Wizz Air, which also have yet to announce summer programs for next year.

November the 3rd, 2021 - The well known flight company EasyJet is considering introducing flights to two more Croatian cities for the very first time as the World Travel Market kicks off in the British capital. Could EasyJet Rijeka and even Osijek flights be on the cards in the not so distant future? Maybe.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, promising announcements for Croatian tourism are coming from the World Travel Market (WTM), which started a couple of days ago in London. According to the director of the Croatian National Tourist Board (HTZ), Kristjan Stanicic, who met with representatives of some of the most important partners such as easyJet, TUI, SAGA, Jet2.com & Jet2Holidays during the first day of the fair, Croatia looks as if it will be a hit destination next year as well.

"We've achieved some exceptionally good results this year, and there's also been great announcements for next year from the representatives of Jet2.com, our most important partners on the British market, which, along with TUI, brings us the largest number of British tourists each year.

These partners have announced an increase in demand for Croatia and a larger number of airlines, but we also have a great responsibility ahead of us because the basic precondition for a successful tourist season will be a stable epidemiological situation,'' said Stanicic.

EasyJet is also satisfied with the achieved results and notes that in 2021 they have almost completely returned to the trends from the pre-pandemic record year of 2019.

"Speaking of Croatia, next year we plan to increase capacities and introduce some new flights, and for the first time we're considering the introduction of flights to the airports of Rijeka and Osijek," revealed Richard Owens, the development manager at easyJet.

EasyJet Rijeka and certainly Osijek flights would bring even higher numbers of visitors to Croatia and finally shine the spotlight on the commonly overlooked Eastern Croatian region, which has a lot to boast about but is still very much stuck living in its coastal cousins' shadows.

April 28, 2021 - The latest flight news to Croatia as there are only 3 easyJet lines to Croatia in May, all to Split Airport. 

Croatian Aviation reports that easyJet, one of the most important airlines present in Croatian airports, plans to operate regular international traffic on only three routes to Croatia from the beginning of May. All three lines are to and from Split Airport.

Although the company offered numerous international routes to four Croatian airports at the beginning of this year - Pula, Zadar, Split, and Dubrovnik, the announced flights were not realized.

From April 10 to 24, the airline performed three return flights on the Geneva - Dubrovnik - Geneva line, but there are no flights on this route for May. easyJet plans to resume traffic between Geneva and Dubrovnik only in June.

As for Split Airport, easyJet resumed traffic on the Geneva - Split - Geneva line on April 3, and it will continue to operate in May, once a week, every Saturday. 

The Basel - Split - Basel line operated twice a week in April, on Thursdays and Saturdays, while in May it will operate once a week, also on Saturdays.

From May 1, this airline will resume traffic on another route to Split. Namely, from the mentioned date, a line from Berlin will be introduced, which will also have one flight a week - on Saturdays.

All other Croatian airports to which easyJet normally operates in the summer flight schedule in the first half of May will not have regular arrivals by this well-known British airline.

More precisely, out of a total of 42 international routes to the four mentioned airports, there will be only 3 lines in traffic from May 1. A320 aircraft have been announced on the routes, which have a capacity of 180 passengers in this airline's fleet, which means that easyJet will have only 1800 seats available to and from Split Airport next month.

And while easyJet is still working on the summer flight schedule, Ryanair has its schedule for Croatia for the upcoming season. However, the company opened sales on its international routes in the 2021/2022 winter flight schedule. Zagreb is, as expected, the Croatian destination to which Ryanair will operate next winter.

The company has not changed the number of weekly flights on all 12 routes in the winter flight schedule and it looks the same as the schedule announced in September.

Ryanair should perform most flights next winter from Zagreb to London (daily), and fewer weekly operations to Bergamo (4), Brussels (3), Rome (3), Hahn (3), Gothenburg (3), Karlsruhe (3), Dortmund (2), Memmingen (2), Oslo (2), Paris (2) and Podgorica (2).

It remains to be seen whether the company will make certain modifications and introduce or cancel certain lines for next winter, for which, of course, there is enough time.

Croatian Aviation reports that British low-cost carrier easyJet issued a statement on its website on Tuesday announcing the imminent closure of its three large bases in the UK, solely due to reduced demand caused by the global coronavirus pandemic.

There are two airports in London, Stansted and Southend, and the company's base in Newcastle. From all three mentioned airports, there are direct easyJet flights to Croatia, more precisely, to Pula, Split and Dubrovnik.

We would like to reassure customers due to fly from these airports that we are now contacting anyone whose flight is affected with clear advice on their options which include rerouting via alternative airports or receiving a full refund," easyJet CEO, Johan Lundgren, said. 

The closure of these bases will happen very soon, as early as September 1, with the announcement that traffic from these airports will resume in the summer flight schedule in 2021. easyJet will operate on the following lines to Croatia until the end of August, and some of them have already been canceled.

• London Stansted - Dubrovnik
• London Stansted - Split
• London Southend - Dubrovnik
• London Southend - Pula
• Newcastle - Split

easyJet will operate from London (Gatwick Airport) to Dubrovnik, Split and Pula in September, so passengers planning a trip from Stansted or Southend Airport will be able to change their departure airport from London free of charge.
