The Ryanair-owned airline will introduce flights to the Zadar, Split and Pula starting in 2019.

Laudamotion was founded in 2004 as Amira Air before former Formula 1 driver Niki Lauda took over and renamed the airline. 

In August 2018 Ryanair confirmed it had completed the purchase of 75% of the shareholding of the airline and that it planned to double the Airbus fleet from 9 to 18.

Laudamotion is scheduled to receive 18 Airbus A320 aircraft until summer 2019, which will replace and expand its current fleet.
