NEWS FLASH
Low cost airline easyjet will launch services to Zadar next summer season. Following talks with the airport earlier this year, the carrier will run three weekly flights from Milan Malpensa, each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Services will commence on June 27 and operate until September 3. Further details can be found here. easyJet began flying to Croatia in 2009 and maintains seasonal operations to Dubrovnik, Pula and Split from a number of destinations. It handled over 600.000 passengers on flights to and from the country last year.
This is a good addition to Zadar, it's good for the airport it will become less depended of Rynair
ReplyDeleteAgree, it would be better for Zadar if they attract more airlines to open new markets. Denmark, The Netherlands, Finland are still unserved countries.
DeleteZadar airport must be smart to attract more visitors from the areas that are popular, if they look on the map of Europe the Netherlands is still not served, Finland as well, Spain and France can be boosted, Switzerland also and of course the Scandinavian countries
DeleteI think if easyjet opens Amsterdam - Zadar it will become a nice complete new route since the Netherlands is not served
ReplyDeleteHopefully, so strange that Zadar is neither connected with easyjet or transavia to Amsterdam, or with Ryanair to Eindhoven. While loads of Dutch tourist visit the area during the summer and also in the preseason and end of the season. I myself would use that connection atleast twice per year.
DeleteI agree, it is very strange that Zadar is not connected with the Netherlands, Eindhoven and/or Rotterdam is the most potential city in my opinion for Transavia beacuse Rynair is already flywing from Weeze to Zadar and Transavia would be a great concurrent for Rynair
DeleteWell I don't think Transavia will open new routes from Eindhoven to Zadar as they already fly to Croatia from Rotterdam to Split and from Amsterdam to Dubrovnik
DeleteMaybe, but then its time for easyjet to start with flights to Zadar or even ryanair to Eindhoven the area is big enough for both a few flights weekly to Weeze and Eindhoven in the summer season. Especially If you imagine that Wizz flies to both Belgrade and Nis all year from Eindhoven.
DeleteCan anybody tells me what are the criteria for an airline like Rynair or Transavia for opening new routes and does anybody has an idea why still no airline flies from the Eindhoven region.
DeleteWithing the radius of 50 km of Eindhoven there are more than 1 million people?
@G-G well if I look at Google maps and Wikipedia the area around Eindhoven is bigger in the population. The are in a radius of 50/60 km around Eindhoven has more than 2 million people if you include the north east part of Belgium.
DeleteI think this is a real potential new market that seriously would be well served if an airline open flights from Eindhoven to Zadar.
Bravo Hrvatska!

If my predicted calculations are right Zadar Airport could easly have more than 600.000 passangers in 2017.
Well Zadar will hit 520,000 passengers in 2016 and with the new routes 600,000 is very possible.
DeleteThese routes will not be resumed next year
ReplyDeleteTUIfly to HAJ 2x
Airberlin to DUS 1x
Transavia to ORY 1x
KLM - Air France has a new strategy and that means that Transavia can't expaned any more. Transavia wanted to expand in more upcoming markets, like Dubrovnik.
DeleteIt's sad to see they stopped the route from Paris to Zadar.
Transavia won´t be stopping flights to ORY- Flights are bookable throughout the season 2017- simply check Transavia.com
DeleteRyanair will probably boost Weeze- Zadar next year
