New lines include flights towards the Midlands, Gothenburg, Haugesund, Liverpool and Paris,” said Zadar airport director Katica Pupic Bakrac, adding that the airport will also service Ryanair flights from London, Bruxelles, Marseille, Karlsruhe, Baden, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Bilund, Oslo and Stockholm.
“Last year we had 375,000 passengers pass through the airport, this year we are expecting over half a million passengers,” added Pupic Bakrac.
