January 4, 2022 - The latest flight news to Croatia as 12 Ryanair Zadar summer flights have been postponed until June.
After announcing the temporary cancellation of 12 routes from Zagreb Airport, Irish low-cost airline Ryanair has postponed the start of operations on the same number of routes from the Zadar base, reports Croatian Aviation.
Ryanair had already announced the start of operations on almost all seasonal routes from Zadar Airport at the very beginning of the summer flight schedule (from the end of March this year), though this will no longer happen. Namely, on 12 international lines, Ryanair postponed all operations until the beginning of June. This airline did the same with the lines from the Zagreb base.
The following lines from Zadar have been postponed and have a new start date:
Zadar - Aarhus, from June 3, twice a week,
Zadar - Nuremberg, from June 2, three times a week,
Zadar - Bari, from June 2, twice a week,
Zadar - Bologna, from June 2, twice a week,
Zadar - Milan Bergamo, from June 2, twice a week,
Zadar - Turin, from June 3, twice a week,
Zadar - Maastricht, from June 3, twice a week,
Zadar - Gdansk, from June 4, twice a week,
Zadar - Vaxjo, from June 1, twice a week,
Zadar - Bournemouth, from June 4, twice a week,
Zadar - Liverpool, from June 2, twice a week,
Zadar - Manchester, from June 4, twice a week.
The two-month postponement is justified by the airline's low demand caused by the pandemic and the reintroduction of passenger restrictions across Europe.
If passenger restrictions remain in force as we approach the start of the summer flight schedule, there is no doubt that other airlines will be forced to modify their operations as well. As a result, there will be fewer weekly operations than planned or the complete cancellation of operations, as Ryanair has already done on 12 lines from Zadar for the spring of this year.
Croatian Aviation concludes by asking how this airline will continue to react to the reduced demand and whether it will additionally cancel flights from Zagreb and Zadar, adding that such moves do not instill confidence in existing and potential passengers.
