Ryanair cancels and reduces over a dozen Zagreb routes

Ryanair will be reducing planned frequencies and temporarily suspending a number of destinations out of its Zagreb base in May and June. A total of seventeen routes have been affected. Notably, the budget carrier has cancelled all flights from Zagreb to Basel and Brindisi in May and June, with the latter having only been launched two weeks ago. Furthermore, the airline will temporarily suspend operations from the Croatian capital to Sofia in June, while services to Corfu, which were to be inaugurated in June, have been pushed back until July and reduced to just one flight per week.

Thirteen other routes will sustain frequency cuts including Charleroi, Baden Baden, Bergamo, Dublin, Gothenburg, Hahn, London, Memmingen, Malta, Malmo, Paphos, Rome and Weeze. Notably, its operations to Stansted Airport, which boast the largest number of flights from its Zagreb base, have been reduced from daily to four weekly. The majority of the other routes have suffered a one to two weekly frequency reduction. This is the second time in recent months that Ryanair has either temporarily suspended or reduced its number of flights out of Zagreb. In January and February, sixteen of Ryanair’s routes from the Croatian capital were temporarily suspended.

The latest wave of cancellations has impacted 63% of Ryanair’s Zagreb network. The airline has provided no explanation for its decision. As previously reported, the carrier has also delayed the launch of 24 of its routes from Zadar. The majority of the flights that were to be introduced at the end of March have been shifted to early June, while a handful of other routes have been delayed until the start of May. The affected destinations include Aarhus, Bucharest, Bordeaux, Bari, Bologna, Bergamo, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Gothenburg, Gdansk, Hamburg, Liverpool, Maastricht, Manchester, Naples, Nuremberg, Prague, Pisa, Sofia, Turin, Warsaw and Wroclaw.
