Low cost carrier Ryanair will launch a new seasonal service between Dubrovnik and Budapest this summer, marking the second new route to be introduced by the airline from the coastal city. The service will commence on June 2 and operate three times per week until September 29, with frequencies reduced to two weekly in September. It will deploy a mix of Boeing 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 jets. The carrier has also previously scheduled a new route between Gdansk and Dubrovnik. Both will commence just days before its rival Wizz Air introduces the same two new routes.

Ryanair has so far scheduled modest growth across the former Yugoslavia for the upcoming summer season, with Dubrovnik emerging as the primary driver of expansion. The low cost carrier plans to add between fourteen and seventeen additional weekly departures from its base at the coastal airport, translating into nearly 6.600 extra seats per week during peak months.

At the height of the summer season in June, July and August, Ryanair will introduce two additional weekly rotations to Charleroi, Rome and Manchester. Frequencies will also increase by one weekly service to Krakow, Poznan, London Stansted, Sandefjord, Vienna and Wroclaw. These enhancements come on top of the announced new routes to Gdansk and Budapest. Two of the three weekly flights on the latter will be operated by Budapest-based aircraft, while one by its jet based in Dubrovnik.
