Ryanair finalises winter EX-YU network with two new routes
Low cost carrier Ryanair has finalised its 2022/2023 winter season operations, commencing on October 30 and running until March 26 of next year, which will see the airline introduce a total of two new routes from the former Yugoslavia, one being from Podgorica and the other from Banja Luka. As previously reported, it will commence a two weekly service from Manchester to the Montenegrin capital, as well as two weekly rotations between Berlin and Banja Luka. The latter operated until the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 but was discontinued since. On the other hand, the service between Manchester and Podgorica marks the first time the two had been linked with a scheduled nonstop air service.
As a result, Ryanair will operate nine routes out of Montenegro this winter and eight from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Furthermore, the no frills airline will maintain 25 routes out of its base in Zagreb during the winter. In a statement, it said, “As we look forward with a strong summer of bookings to/from Zagreb, Ryanair will operate almost eighty weekly flights for summer 2022 (over thirty more than last year) to give our Zagreb customers an abundance of choice to top European destinations. Ryanair also announces its biggest Croatian winter 22/23 schedule ever to exciting destinations such as London and Brussels. This brings Ryanair’s total winter 22/23 routes to/from Croatia to 25, giving customers more winter travel options than ever before and driving further inbound tourism throughout the off-peak season”. Unlike its summer operations, the low cost airline will not maintain flights from Zagreb to Brindisi and Corfu over the winter months.
Ryanair will not be adding any new routes out of Serbia either. It plans to maintain four destinations from Niš over the coming winter season, including Vienna, Malta, Stockholm and Bergamo. Unlike the summer, it will not run flights to Corfu. “As Europe’s number one airline, Ryanair is delighted to announce our winter 22/23 schedule for Serbia with four routes to popular destinations across Europe, such as Vienna, Stockholm and Malta. Although this schedule offers plenty of choice, demand is growing swiftly, so customers should book their winter 22/23 getaways early to ensure the lowest possible fares”, the carrier’s Chief Commercial Officer, Jason McGuinness, said.
