Ryanair announced its biggest-ever Croatia Summer schedule, with 9 based aircraft (US$900M investment), 118 routes – including 2 new routes from Dubrovnik to Budapest and Gdansk – and traffic growth of +5% to 4.3 million seats, delivering more choice and even lower fares for Croatia’s citizens and visitors across 7 airports (including 3 bases in Dubrovnik, Zadar and Zagreb).

This record growth supports Croatia’s strong post‑Covid recovery, which is underpinned by competitive airport costs, allowing Ryanair to deliver expanded year‑round connectivity – unlike in other EU markets such as Austria, France and Germany, where regressive aviation taxes and high airport charges have blocked traffic recovery and growth. Thanks to competitive charges, Croatia’s airports are benefiting from the reallocation of Ryanair traffic from other high-cost markets.

Ryanair’s record Croatia Summer 2026 Schedule will deliver:

• 9 based aircraft (US$900M investment)
• 4.3 million seats (+5% growth)
• 118 routes, including 2 new from Dubrovnik to Budapest and Gdansk
• Over 850 weekly flights
• Support over 3,500 jobs in Croatia

Croatia has benefited from significant traffic and year-round tourism development post-Covid. However, to unlock further growth and investment, Ryanair calls on the Croatian Govt. to remove the outdated CAA Tax, which unnecessarily increases access costs for passengers which can be funded by scrapping wasteful PSOs that subsidise a handful of flights. This would ensure Croatia remains an attractive and cost‑competitive market for future growth, supporting enhanced connectivity and underpinning year-round tourism, employment, and economic development across the country.

To celebrate Ryanair’s record Summer 2026 schedule in Croatia, Ryanair has launched a limited 3‑day seat sale with fares from just €29.99 only on the Ryanair app.
