Ryanair reverses planned growth on select Croatia routes

Ryanair has this week updated its upcoming 2026 summer schedule, cutting close to forty weekly flights from its Croatian network in April and a further 24 weekly rotations in May. The airline has also reduced its peak-summer flights from the country by nine weekly services. The cuts for April and May primarily affect Zadar. Notably, Ryanair has scaled back planned services to Weeze from eleven weekly to daily, London Stansted from six weekly to two, and Poznan from ten weekly to seven, among others. However, most of these reductions relate to previously filed growth for 2026 rather than frequencies operated last year, and in most cases, services will still align with summer 2025 levels.

In Zagreb, the airline will temporarily suspend its eight weekly Basel service from mid-April until mid-May due to runway works at the Swiss airport during this period. Ryanair has also reversed plans to increase frequencies to Dublin to daily flights and will instead maintain five weekly services throughout the summer, matching last year’s schedule. In addition, the carrier has dropped its planned increase on the Malaga route and will operate five weekly flights instead of six over the peak season. During April and May, alongside the Basel hiatus and Dublin adjustment, Ryanair has also rolled back its intended increase to Paphos from five weekly services to four. Despite this reduction, the route will still see one more weekly rotation than last year and will grow to five weekly from June instead.
