British Airways will introduce seasonal flights between Edinburgh and Split during the 2027 summer season. The carrier will operate one weekly flight from May 15 to June 19 and again from September 4 to October 2, using an Embraer E190 jet.
The new service will bring British Airways’ Croatian network to six routes. The airline will also serve Split from London Heathrow and London City, Dubrovnik from London Heathrow and London Gatwick, and Zagreb from London Heathrow. The Oneworld member will operate forty weekly flights to Croatia at the peak of the summer season. Further details on the Edinburgh - Split service can be found here.
Not exactly useful, since you cannot transfer anywhere and also it,s only 1 pw. Targeting just British citizens to visit SPU region.
ReplyDeleteThat's the point, these kind of routes bring the most money to Croatia in oppose to routes targeting croats going on a holiday
DeleteWho do you think BRITISH airways should target for a summer seasonal route from London to Split if not British tourists travelling to Dalmatia?

DeleteIf the LF would be 85%, they will be able to bring 990 pax from edi to spu. What an achievment.
Delete@13:31 its designed to utilise the aircraft when LCY is shut. This is very common and not designed for transfers. Its not really designed from Croatia originating passengers. This is very common so inform yourself better.
DeleteAnnon 14:11, the 990 pax you calculated can still bring around 400x7x990=2772000 eur. So almost 3 million euros if they spend 400 eur daily, which they certainly will. Say 25% is PDV meaning that around 700k euros is going straight to state budget, I see few downsides
DeleteI doubt they all spend that. But why would there be any downsides? And yes it brings money direct to Croatia's pocket.
DeleteGood for Split, but it puzzles me that legacy carrier of this type and size is after 1pw services operating couple of months…
ReplyDeleteYou dont get it. This is to use the aircraft during the closure of London City on Saturday afternoons. Inform yourself before commenting.
DeleteSPU is literally unstoppable
ReplyDeleteFewer passengers this year than last and behind Dubrovnik in October in terms of passengers...
Deleteand down to Nr.5 in the ExYu rankings
DeleteIt'll be back up there one day.
DeleteBravo Hrvatska! Quite a prestigious route.
ReplyDeleteOMG! When your World ends in Graz. Or Vrankvurt in the best case
DeleteAlways spreading negativity and anguish wherever you can. Never change Pozdrav.
DeleteEasyjet or Jet2 are better fit for the route.
ReplyDeleteSaw the title and thought they were announcing LHR-RJK…!

DeleteThey are not looking for parking for their aircraft! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"The Oneworld member will operate forty weekly flights to Croatia at the peak of the summer season."
ReplyDeleteOU wake up darling.
Although to be fair London alone is roughly three times the size of Croatia, but yeah OU could (and should) have tried to build a presence at regional UK airports. Will they? Will they my a*se.
DeleteWhy should they wake up? Someone will be fined? Salary cut for no results? Fired? Of course not. Should they be worried? With Mafia controlling media and with stoka sitnog zuba being silent? Of course not. Welcome to Croatia!
