May 17, 2021 - The latest flight news to Croatia as London flights to Croatia return for the summer season thanks to easyJet, Ryanair, and British Airways.
Croatian Aviation reports that since the beginning of the winter flight schedule last year, Zagreb Airport has been the only airport with a direct connection to London. That will change after almost 7 months, and many airlines will resume seasonal flights to Croatian airports by the end of this month.
Dubrovnik and London
From 28 May, the British national airline, British Airways, will resume operations on its seasonal route between London (Heathrow Airport) and Dubrovnik. Flights have been confirmed three times a week since that date, every Monday, Friday, and Sunday. Dubrovnik will be the first British Airways destination this summer season in the Republic of Croatia.
From June 30, the British easyJet will resume traffic on the London Gatwick-Dubrovnik route. Initially, one flight was announced per week, on Sundays, but as early as June 7, an increase in the number of weekly operations was announced, every Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Split and London
easyJet will re-introduce the London Luton-Split route on May 22, initially with two flights a week, Thursdays and Saturdays, and as of June 8, four flights a week have been announced on this route.
As of May 29, two more lines between Split and London will be introduced. Croatia Airlines will resume traffic to Heathrow with one flight per week, on Saturdays, while easyjet will introduce a route to Gatwick Airport also once a week, on Saturdays. EasyJet has announced 6 flights a week on this route since June 8, every day except Wednesday.
Until a few days ago, British Airways announced its return to Split in the first days of June, but the flights were once again postponed and are currently announced from June 11.
Pula and London
From June 3, Irish Ryanair will introduce the London Stansted-Pula line. Flights were announced twice a week through June, on Thursdays and Sundays. From June 12, easyJet also plans to introduce a line between Pula and London Gatwick.
Zadar and London
Ryanair will resume traffic between Stansted and Zadar from June 1. Two flights a week have been announced, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Zagreb and London
Until May, Croatia Airlines operated between Heathrow and Zagreb once a week, on Mondays, but since the beginning of this month, the company also operates on the second weekly flight between the two airports - every Friday. From this week, Croatia will operate between Heathrow and Zagreb three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
The return of British Airways to Zagreb has been postponed until the end of June.
Other Croatian airports open to international traffic (Rijeka, Osijek, and Brac) do not have regular flights from London airports for May, and it is expected that the mentioned airports will be without a direct connection with London throughout the summer season.
