By 20 January 2019

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.
