Following a 13-year hiatus, Budapest Airport will once again be connected to Croatia’s Dalmatian coast thanks to a new seasonal Ryanair link serving Zadar Airport.
“Re-introducing Croatia to our destination network is fantastic news, especially for the tourism in both cities – more than half a million Hungarians visited the south eastern European country last year,” said Balázs Bogáts, Head of Airline Development, Budapest Airport.
“The historic city of Zadar with its old town of Roman ruins, medieval churches and cosmopolitan cafes has been a growing attraction
for Hungarians for many years now and in return we have seen the number of Croatian visitors to our own beautiful city grow significantly,” he continued.
Bogáts also revealed that he expects Ryanair’s flight between the two popular tourist destinations to be in high demand throughout the summer.
The popular low-cost carrier will operate the new route from its Lauda base at Zadar from 2 July and will offer an additional 300,000 seats over the peak season. Ryanair is one of Budapest Airport’s fastest-growing airlines offering 58 destinations across its Hungarian network.
