Croatia Airlines inaugurated seasonal flights between Split and Nantes this week, its first of two new routes this summer. The service will be maintained twice per week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, until October 9. “We’re proud to celebrate the first flight from Nantes to Split! A big thank you to Nantes-Atlantique Airport for the warm welcome. This new connection brings our regions closer together and opens up exciting opportunities for travel, tourism and business. We look forward to seeing this route grow over the coming months and to welcoming many passengers on board”, Croatia Airlines said in a statement. The carrier will compete directly against Volotea on the route.
