Low cost carrier Ryanair will increase frequencies on a number of routes for a limited period from late April until the end of May. The airline has added eleven additional weekly flights from Zagreb, falling outside the Easter and school holiday peak in late March and early April. The increase is primarily the result of reallocated capacity following the planned temporary suspension of services to Basel due to runway works at the Swiss airport over the same period. Routes receiving extra flights include Sofia, Rome, Naples, London Stansted, Alicante and Manchester.
Ryanair will double frequencies between Zagreb and Sofia during the limited late April to end-May period, increasing services from three to six weekly, with two daily flights on Saturdays. The carrier will also boost operations to Rome from the initially planned six to nine weekly, adding a second daily flight on Thursdays and Sundays. Last year, Ryanair operated seven weekly rotations on the route during the same period. Other services gaining an additional weekly rotation compared to the original plan include London Stansted (nine weekly), Alicante (three weekly) and Manchester (three weekly).
Despite these increases, Ryanair will still operate three fewer weekly flights in April and May compared to last year. However, for the remainder of the 2026 summer season, the airline is currently scheduled to average five additional weekly flights versus the previous year. During the first half of 2026, Ryanair has 935.740 seats on the market on its Zagreb flights. The figure represents an increase of 2.3% compared to last year’s 914.824 seats. The number of flights increase 1.9% over the same period.
