Croatia Airlines and Ryanair to restore direct flights between Croatia and Dublin
From the end of this month, Croatia Airlines will resume traffic on the regular route between Dublin and Zagreb, while at the beginning of June Ryanair will reconnect Dublin with Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik.
From the end of this and the beginning of next month, Croatia Airlines and Ryanair will again connect Croatia and Ireland.
The Croatian national airline operated for a short time, around the Easter holidays, on a regular route between Dublin and Zagreb, but then the traffic was suspended again. The company has decided to operate again on this route from the end of May with two flights a week, every Thursday and Sunday.
The Croatia Airlines route between Zagreb and Dublin has been scheduled from Thursday, May 27th, and flights are planned for the coming summer months. A319 aircraft with a capacity of 144 passengers will operate on the route.
From mid-June, Croatia Airlines has regular charter flights between Split and Dublin, once a week, on Wednesdays, until the beginning of September.
From the beginning of June, Irish Ryanair will resume traffic on its three seasonal routes from Dublin to Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik Airport. In the summer season of 2020, the route to Zadar from the capital of Ireland was not in traffic.
The Dublin - Zadar route has been scheduled from June 2nd, twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays, and the company plans to keep the same number of weekly operations throughout the summer flight schedule.
The Dublin - Split route has also been scheduled from June 2nd, twice a week, on the same days as the route to Zadar. In early July, the company plans to increase the number of weekly operations by introducing an additional flight on Fridays.
The Dublin - Dubrovnik route will be in operation from June 4th. Two flights a week have been scheduled for June, on Mondays and Fridays, while an additional flight on Wednesdays is expected from the beginning of July.
The third airline operating between Ireland and Croatia is AerLingus. The company previously announced the resumption of traffic to Pula, Split and Dubrovnik from the beginning of June, but currently all flights have been postponed until the second half of June.
