British Airways to boost Ljubljana and Croatia operations

NEWS FLASH


British Airways will increase frequencies on flights to Ljubljana, Dubrovnik and Split next summer season. The carrier will restore operations between London Heathrow and the Slovenian capital on March 30 with four weekly flights, matching its frequencies from 2024. From early May services will increase to six weekly and from May 18 to eight weekly compared five weekly last year. From June onwards it will continue to run eight weekly rotations, up from daily. The carrier will have two departures per day on Saturdays.

In Dubrovnik, frequencies will increase on its London Gatwick service. Operations will resume early, on March 4, almost a month ahead of 2024. Frequencies will grow during June, with eleven weekly flights planned, up from nine, twelve weekly in July and August, up from nine and eight weekly respectively, and eleven weekly rotations in September, an increase from nine weekly. During October, nine weekly flights are planned, up from daily operations in 2024.

British Airways will increase services between London Heathrow and Split from ten to eleven weekly flights starting in June. There will be two daily rotations on Mondays, Tuesdays and Sundays.

Changes remain possible.

    Saturday twice daily is a bit niche don't we think?

      Not just that. Saturday could also serve passengers who left North America on Friday afternoon/evening.

      Why no word on LHR-DBV flights and the LCY-SPU flights?

      Because there is no change on last year.

      Did BA operate LHR-DBV 3 daily on certain days? I thought that is also new.

      The news would be the extension of the STN-SPU flights throughout 2025.

      Exactly, if the passenger numbers don't improve every month, they should just close the airport. Slovenians prefer Ryanair from Trieste anyway.

      Yes the winter is weak, but next summer looks like it's gonna go insane with all the increases in frequency, capacity, and new flights

      Fraport doesn't give discounts to Ryanair

      Even if Fraport lets Ryanair come for free, they won't come. Ryanair needs to be paid to come.

      Carport and Ryanair have an excellent relationship in Greece. Maybe the problem is Ljubljana?

      ^ They don't. Ryanair's CCO in an interview this week criticized Fraport Greece and said they are not interested in growing traffic in winter. Which is a lie of course. What he meant to say is that they were not interested in giving additional discounts to Ryanair to grow there in winter.

    I heard Fraport will raise the fees just to deter non LHG carriers from coming to LJU. And the GOV? No action?

      Unfortunately there is little business travel needs and very few tourists in winter. British skiers go to higher and bigger resorts with better snow.

      Very little business travel thats why business class is almost full (and not 2 rows, but 4+) on all LHG flights. Makes sense.
