easyJet terminates six EX-YU routes
Low cost carrier easyJet is ending six routes to three markets in the former Yugoslavia with Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro being affected. The carrier will discontinue its operations between Berlin and Ljubljana, which it had launched in August 2018. It is the second easyJet route to be terminated out of the Slovenian capital over the past three months after the airline shut its base in London Stansted. The no frills airline now anticipates restoring flights from London Gatwick to Ljubljana on February 12, while its planned new service from London Luton has been delayed until March 28. Further changes remain possible.
easyJet will be terminating four seasonal routes to Croatia at this point, with flights from Venice to Split and Dubrovnik, as well as from Liverpool to Pula and London Luton to Zadar all cancelled. The airline had previously discontinued routes from Stansted to Dubrovnik and Split, from Southend to Dubrovnik and Pula, as well as from Newcastle to Split. In the pre-pandemic era, the budget airline was Croatia’s largest during the peak summer month of August, eclipsing Croatia Airlines. Overall, in 2019, it was the second largest airline in the country in terms of offered seat capacity, behind only the national carrier.
easyJet has also shelved plans to introduce flights between Milan and Tivat, which were initially to launch this year but were postponed until 2021. The service was to run twice per week during the peak summer months of June, July and August. However, it plans to go ahead and inaugurate seasonal services between Berlin and Tivat as initially planned on March 29 and maintain its existing routes from Geneva, London Gatwick and Manchester. In the summer of 2019, easyJet was the sixth largest airline in terms of offered capacity to and from Tivat and is expected to be fifth in 2021 based on existing schedules.
