Low cost carrier Ryanair handled over 1.3 million passengers at its Zagreb base last year. Data from the statistical office of the European Union, Eurostat, shows that Ryanair has been a major driving force behind the airport’s strong passenger performance in 2024, maintaining a total of thirty destinations over the summer peak. The average cabin load factor across its Zagreb network stood at 87%. London Stansted maintained its position as the busiest route, while Dublin had the highest average annual cabin occupancy rate, amounting to 95.4%. It was followed by Girona and Palma de Mallorca, both of which were launched last year. The table below, provided by Eurostat, indicates passenger numbers for 26 of the thirty Ryanair destinations from the Croatian capital.
During 2024, Ryanair commenced five new routes out of Zagreb, most of which performed strongly. Palma de Mallorca, Alicante and Girona had some of the highest average loads in the airline’s network from the Croatian capital. A notable exception was Pisa, which, with 20.021 passengers, had the lowest load factor amounting to 69.5%, which is considered a soft figure by budget carrier standards. This coming Sunday, the airline will introduce another destination in Italy – Palermo. Ryanair will also increase frequencies on a number of routes over the coming months, with an emphasis on its April operations due to the Easter holidays. As a result, it will become the largest carrier by available seat capacity at Zagreb Airport for the first time next month.
