Russian carrier Red Wings Airlines has been cleared by Croatian authorities to launch flights to the country according to Rosaviatsiya, the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency. Red Wings has been granted approval to operate up to seven weekly flights from Moscow to both Dubrovnik and Pula, as well as up to five weekly services to Split. The number of Russian tourists holidaying in Croatia, as well as the number of flights operated between the two countries, have decreased significantly since Croatia's entry into the European Union in 2013, which signalled the end to visa-free travel for Russian passport holders. However, with Russians no longer able to holiday in Turkey and Egypt and with continuing security concerns in Tunisia, holidaymakers are looking for alternatives, with Croatia hoping to benefit.
