Ryanair is continuing to expand its network across the region, with EX-YU Aviation News able to confirm that the budget carrier will be adding new flights from both Zadar and Banja Luka next summer. At its seasonal base on the Croatian coast, Ryanair plans to introduce Barcelona, Copenhagen, Cork, Košice and Kaunas to its network. At the same time, the airline is yet to schedule flights from Zadar to Hahn, Turin, Rome Fiumicino, Vaxjo and Warsaw Modlin, which were operational during the 2023 summer season, however, as the carrier is still finalising its network, some of these may yet find their place within its Zadar schedule.
Overall, based on existing operations filed by the airline, Ryanair will increase its number of flights in Zadar by 33.3% in 2024 compared to this year’s summer season, for a total of 8.249 flight operations (inclusive of both outbound and inbound).
n Banja Luka, Ryanair will introduce a new two weekly service from Baden Baden. It will complement its flights from Charleroi, Gothenburg, Memmingen, Stockholm and Vienna to Bosnia and Herzegovina’s second largest city. Unlike the 2023 summer season, the budget airline has not filed plans to maintain operations from either Berlin or Nuremberg to Banja Luka, as was the case this summer, indicating flights will likely not be renewed, however, changes remain possible. Overall, based on existing operations filed by the airline, Ryanair will decrease its number of flights in Banja Luka by 10.9% in 2024 compared to this year’s summer season, for a total of 1.080 flight operations.
