Zagreb surrenders airspace to angry Ryanair

Ryanair will expand operations from its Zagreb base next summer by adding flights on several high-performing routes. The budget carrier plans to increase service between Zagreb and London Stansted from 10 flights per week to 12, with near-daily double rotations starting on March 29, 2026.

Malta flights will also rise to 12 weekly departures, while Dublin service expands from five weekly flights to daily operations. Routes to Palma de Mallorca will grow from four to six weekly flights, and Paphos service will increase from three to five weekly flights. Basel, Malaga, and Palermo will each gain one additional weekly rotation.

The London Stansted route carried 79,587 passengers in the first half of this year, with a 93% load factor. Malta recorded 67,805 passengers, achieving a 90.8 percent load factor, while Dublin achieved the highest load factor at 97.8 percent, with 36,262 travelers.

Ryanair must add 75,000 departing passengers from Zagreb next year to maintain growth incentives in the final year of its five-year agreement. The airline has become the top carrier at Dubrovnik Airport with 62 flights on 21 routes.
