NEWS FLASH
Zadar Airport has recorded its busiest month ever this July, handling 237.327 passengers. The figure represents an increase of 63.2% on the pre-pandemic 2019. During the January - July period, Zadar Airport welcomed a record 566.788 travellers through its doors, up 28.5% on 2019. Zadar Airport estimates it will handle similar figures this August. “This year will surely be a record one, about 15% - 20% more than in 2019”, Ivan Skelin, the airport’s Manager for Transport and Operational Sector, said. Zadar Airport is the first in Croatia to surpass its pre-pandemic performance. Its surge in traffic is being primarily fuelled by Ryanair, which stationed a third aircraft in the city this summer and launched a number of new routes.
I am hoping easyjet starts expanding in Zadar rather than Lauda/Ryanair. Also some flights throughout the winter season would be a great add and I am sure would do great.

DeleteStop mass tourism. Don't you see how our coast looks like, like a big favela. Bravo Hrvatska for what, for devastation of the country with cheap mass disgusting tourism
ReplyDeleteSome of us need to work in order to pay the taxes that pay for your salary so that you can seat on your @ss and write nonsense.

DeleteMy thoughts exactly.
How about trying something that is in harmony with nature, rather than building apartments and mass tourism. My city, Zadar, was eaten by concrete and mass tourism. As on the rest of the coast, it is especially unpleasant to live, if you rent an apartment. I have to move out on May 01-01October and to live in garage because some of you need to pay tax and because some of you have 10 houses and some of us zero. Tourism has destroyed our coastline. Half a million people today are in small Istria only today, hello, half a million. It is more pleasant to live in Osijek or Vukovar than anywhere on the Croatian coast. So this theory about paying taxes makes no sense. What happened to agriculture, the fishing industry, exclusive tourism... instead we have this chaos and support more planes coming in with low budget tourists.
DeleteAnon 13:47 I absolutely agree.
DeleteIt has been said before but here outlined again another massive miss by OU. They should have had for years at least 3 to 4 planes based in Split and Dubrovnik and at least 2 in Pula, Zadar and 1 in Rijeka. They should also be using their Q400s flying constant routes up and down the coast linking these airports as a convenient way to move tourists around. OU, such a dumb airline not realising any of the possibilities laid out in front of them.

DeleteI would be cautious with statements and conclusions like those above An.15.59. OU is the best, has achieved all the goals set in 1991, has amazing fleet and decent network and needs only to be hailed and Bravoed. If you say anything else, you hate everything croatian, you are boring, you are from Cacak and your mental health is questionable. So keep your mouth shut and just adore your flag carrier, with all of its crime and corruption, and all of its incompetent Uhljebs
DeleteJan - July ZAD ahead of Ljubljana and Sarajevo....nothing short of amazing.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter. LJU is growing explosively! LJU keeps on winning!
DeleteBravo Ljubljana !!!! ☺
DeleteLJU airport perhaps isn’t growing that much, but the economic area around it sure is. I’ve noticed four new factories being built there recently, on top of the ones already there. And to me personally that’s more important. Those jobs are much more stable than those in aviation. Compaines that are setting shop around LJU have been employing for the past few years, while the aviation sector had been laying people off. So yes, bravo Ljubljana.
DeleteSlovenia is less atractive for green field foreign investments due to the lack of airconnectivity. Foreign investments tend to be higher added value business in comparison with local investments. Ljubljana might be doing well but for sure less well than if there was a better airconnectivity.
Delete4 factories or securing air transport links to a 2 million population you decide which is more important.
DeleteThe latest reports here on this blog indicated Slovenia as the last not only in EU but in the continent. How do you expect people from Paris, London, Brussels or Madrid to even visit Slovenia for 40€ for instance?
Wake up!
Anon 22:13 four factories are more important than air connectivity??
DeleteI thought this was abt ZAD airport best results ever.
