easyJet announces new flights to Zagreb

Exit Wizz Air, enter easyJet

The low cost airline easyJet has announced yet another new service to the Croatian capital Zagreb in addition to the recently launched Paris service and the soon to be initiated flights from London Gatwick Airport. easyJet will commence flights from Dortmund in Germany from February 17. The flights will operate twice per week with all the flight details available on the right hand side in the new route launches section. The national carrier, Croatia Airlines, will be less than pleased with yet another new low cost service. Croatia Airlines has been feuding with Zagreb Airport over special fee waivers given to low cost airlines serving the airport.

Meanwhile, Wizz Air will end its operations to Zagreb on February 4. The airline will suspend its 3 weekly service from London Luton Airport.

Last week, Zagreb Pleso welcomed its 2 millionth passenger for 2010. The lucky customer, travelling on a Croatia Airlines flight to Sarajevo, was issued 2 free return tickets to a European destination. Zagreb managed to handle its 2 millionth passenger 7 days in advance to 2009. The airport has so far managed to see an increase in passengers by half of a percent.
