Croatia Airlines has scheduled the launch of a new service from Split and Dubrovnik for the 2026 summer season. The flag carrier will introduce operations between Dubrovnik and Stuttgart starting May 4. The route will be maintained twice per week, on Mondays and Fridays, with the Airbus A319 aircraft, although the carrier will deploy the A220-300 during the first week of operations. Croatia Airlines faces no direct competition on the route. The two cities were previously linked by Germanwings and its successor Eurowings from 2012 until 2019. Prior to that, the route was also briefly served by Air Berlin and TUIfly. Further flight details can be found here.
For the upcoming summer season, Croatia Airlines also plans to bring forward the resumption of a number of seasonal routes. These include services from Zagreb to Madrid, Hamburg and Prague, which were launched in the summer of 2025 and will now be restored from the start of the summer season, in late March and early April. Services between Zagreb and Bucharest, launched in July, will resume in June, while Tirana will restored in early rather than late May. However, at this point, the carrier does not plan to bring back its seasonal two weekly Split – Bucharest or its weekly Split – Amsterdam routes. This is subject to change.
Frequencies on several routes will be increased next summer. During the height of the summer season, these include Zagreb – Vienna, from five to ten weekly flights, Zagreb – Munich, from ten to twelve weekly, Osijek – Munich, from two to three weekly, and Osijek – Split, from one to two weekly.
