Ryanair presents the first set of new EX-YU routes for next summer
Europe’s busiest airline, Ryanair, will add six new destinations from Podgorica and the Croatian coast next year, continuing to expand its operations across the former Yugoslavia. Furthermore, the low-cost airline plans to increase frequencies on existing services across the region. Ryanair will introduce its tenth destination from Podgorica, with flights to Gdansk starting on March 27. Services will fly twice a week. Gdańsk will become the fifth Polish city to be served from the capital of Montenegro. Ryanair has no direct competition on the route. “We are very satisfied with our operations in Podgorica, which continue to have good results,” said the Irish low-cost carrier.
The bulk of Ryanair’s summer expansion in the region will be focused on the Croatian coast with the introduction of five new seasonal routes. The airline will launch new routes from its summer base in Zadar to Munster, Rzeszow and Milan Malpensa Airport, as well as from Rijeka to Bergamo and from Pula to Katowice. Zadar – Malpensa will run alongside Bergamo. The carrier will renew seasonal flights to Bratislava, Brindisi, Corfu, Malmo and Thessaloniki at its Zagreb base, while flights between Zagreb and Dortmund will only be put on sale for next summer. The carrier told EX-YU Aviation News that its Zagreb network for the next summer season, which starts on March 26, has yet to be finalized.

Ryanair said additional new routes will be announced in the coming weeks. “For customers looking to book early and beat the summer rush, Ryanair, Europe’s most trusted airline, has announced that its summer 2023 network is now on sale, offering customers the lowest prices on its unrivaled choice of 2,500 routes to sunny hotspots and vibrant city destinations across Europe, with even more exciting routes to be announced over the coming weeks,” said the carrier. The airline has also increased the frequency of flights on selected routes, such as the seasonal Niš – Corfu route, which will fly three times a week, but has yet to plan its operations outside Banja Luka for next summer.
