Ryanair has adjusted frequencies across its network in the former Yugoslavia for the 2026 summer season, which begins on March 29. During the peak summer period, the low-cost carrier will remove six weekly departing flights from Banja Luka. The airline will cut two weekly rotations on services to Memmingen, Vienna and Baden Baden. As a result, flights to Vienna and Baden Baden will be reduced to two weekly, while Memmingen will be maintained five times per week. In Niš, Ryanair is removing two weekly flights from its network, cutting one frequency each on services to Malta and Vienna. These routes will be operated three and four times per week, respectively.
On the other hand, the carrier will expand its operations in Croatia, adding eighteen weekly departures compared to the 2025 summer season. However, its bases in Zagreb and Zadar will see a mix of growth and reductions on selected routes. In Zagreb, Ryanair will discontinue three destinations: Marseille (two weekly), Pisa (two weekly) and Hahn (three weekly). Frequencies on the Baden-Baden service will be reduced from four to three weekly. Conversely, the airline will increase services to London Stansted and Malta from ten to twelve weekly, Palma de Mallorca from four to six weekly, Paphos from three to five weekly, and Dublin from five weekly to daily. Basel, Malaga and Palermo will each gain an additional weekly rotation, bringing services to daily, six weekly and four weekly, respectively. Overall, Ryanair will add a net total of six weekly departures from Zagreb during the peak summer season.
Dubrovnik will gain an additional twelve weekly Ryanair departures. The airline is adding two weekly flights on services to Manchester, Gdansk, Rome Fiumicino and Charleroi, as well as an extra weekly rotation to London Stansted (increasing to daily), Vienna, Poznan and Krakow. No reductions are planned compared to last summer.
In Zadar, Ryanair will discontinue services to Maastricht and Hamburg. The carrier will also remove one weekly frequency each on routes to Milan Malpensa, Milan Bergamo, Marseille, Cologne and Budapest. At the same time, it will add one weekly flight to Birmingham, Bologna, Beauvais, Dublin, Memmingen, Gothenburg, Hahn, Kaunas and Weeze (increasing to nine weekly), as well as to Poznan (increasing to ten weekly) and Warsaw Modlin. Operations to Bratislava will be doubled from two to four weekly. Overall, Zadar Airport will record a net gain of six weekly Ryanair departures year-on-year during the peak summer season.
In Pula, the airline will increase services to Poznan and London Stansted by one weekly flight each, bringing both routes to four weekly, while services to Charleroi will lose one weekly rotation. In Rijeka, Ryanair will discontinue its two weekly service to Vienna, with the remainder of the network to remain unchanged. Osijek will see no changes. From Split, the carrier will no longer serve Vienna and will decrease Rome Fiumicino from four to three per week.
Finally, in Podgorica, the airline will increase frequencies on its Polish routes in response to Wizz Air’s expansion in the market. Ryanair will add two weekly flights each to Wroclaw and Gdansk, while also launching a new two weekly service to Poznan. Operations to London Stansted will also be increased, rising from three to four weekly flights, Ex Yu Aviation news writes.
