The 2015 summer season is only two weeks away and will come into effect on March 29 until October 24. According to its preliminary schedule, Adria Airways will introduce two new routes each from Ljubljana and Tirana and one new service from Lodz, while making notable reductions to its regional network. The airline’s 2015 summer timetable is in line with its new business model which calls for fewer frequencies but added capacity. This summer, Adria will introduce two weekly flights from Ljubljana to Stockholm and three weekly to Berlin on April 23 and 24 respectively. It will resume seasonal services to London Gatwick from May 16 through to September 26 and to Manchester from May 30 until September 26 as well. An additional weekly service will be added to Pristina, restoring frequencies to the same levels as in 2012.

On the other hand, flights to Podgorica and Tirana will be reduced by two weekly flights, with the airline discontinuing its evening service to the Montenegrin capital, which saw its aircraft spend the night there before returning to Ljubljana early in the morning. Flights to Skopje will be reduced for a second year in a row, with services to Sarajevo and Vienna also sustaining reductions. Interestingly, flights to Prague, launched last summer, will be reduced by one rotation this year.

From its base in Pristina, Adria will resume seasonal flights to Malmo from June 24 to September 2. Services to Frankfurt and Munich will maintain the same frequencies as last year. The Slovenian carrier will introduce two new destinations from Tirana with two weekly flights to Brussels and Paris. The airline will base a newly leased Bombardier CRJ700 in Lodz and launch six weekly flights to Amsterdam and double its frequencies to Munich from six to twelve weekly flights.

Please note that the changes listed below are preliminary and based on current availability in the Global Distribution System (GDS). Furthermore, the table below displays the peak weekly frequency on each route during the course of the summer season. Increases in frequencies to some destinations may not come into effect until later on in the summer. EX-YU Aviation News will bring you Croatia Airlines’ network changes next week. In the meantime, you can also review planned modifications made by Air Serbia and Montenegro Airlines.
