British carrier Jet2 will connect London Gatwick with Pula starting spring operations through mid-autumn using Airbus A321neo aircraft, accommodating 232 passengers. The weekly service marks the airline's fifth route to the Croatian coastal airport alongside existing Birmingham, East Midlands, Manchester, and Stansted connections, placing it in direct competition with easyJet and TUI on the corridor.
The expansion follows a four-year agreement with Croatian tourism authorities targeting 45 percent growth in visitor arrivals from Britain. Pula will maintain links to eight UK airports throughout the upcoming summer season, while national passenger traffic climbed 6.1 percent compared to the previous autumn measurement period, with Split handling the highest volume at 558,000 travelers.
