Ryanair sees strong Zagreb results, London busiest route
Low cost carrier Ryanair has performed strongly from its base in Zagreb in 2022, with London Stansted being its busiest route with just over 100.000 passengers handled between the two airports. According to data provided by the European Statistical Office, the budget carrier handled over 816.500 passengers on 23 out of 27 routes from the Croatian capital last year. These figures do not include Dublin and Rome where Ryanair directly competes against Croatia Airlines, as well as the seasonal flights to Brindisi and Corfu, which were launched last summer. During 2022, Ryanair faced operational difficulties, resulting in a significant reduction of its planned operations on a number of routes. This led to the temporary suspension of several services including those from Zagreb to Hahn, Sandefjord, Weeze, Sofia and Basel, which is reflected in the figures.

The airline performed strongly on a number of leisure-oriented routes, particularly Malta, Paphos in Cyprus and Malaga. The carrier previously said that “Ryanair will change travel habits in Zagreb and encourage locals to travel more by air”, noting that popular year-round holiday destinations would generate greater demand for outbound flights from the Croatian capital. This year the airline is maintaining services out of Zagreb without disruption and is growing frequencies to Basel, Charleroi, Corfu, Dublin, Malta, Malmo, Sandefjord and Sofia over the summer. It will launch new seasonal operations to Kos on June 2, but will tomorrow perform its final flight to Dortmund, which will be discontinued thereafter.
Ryanair previously said it was satisfied with its operations out of Zagreb. Last year it noted, “Currently, we are really satisfied with the majority of the markets served out of Zagreb. For example, the UK market performs really well, as well as Ireland with the Dublin route. Then we see German markets, Swedish markets … so we are very happy with current demand. There are some tourist destinations in the future that are of interest to us too. We really believe that Zagreb can be attractive all-year round, not just for families and the diaspora, but for tourists as well, so we want to use all these opportunities in the future”.
