Five new routes to Croatia, Italy, Austria and Bosnia Herzegovina taking off from Stansted Airport

Five new routes from Stansted Airport to Croatia, Italy, Austria and Bosnia Herzegovina are taking off this autumn.

After returning to the airport earlier this year, British Airways started flights to Split, Croatia’s second largest city, on Saturday (Sept 7).

And Ryanair, Stansted’s largest airline, is expanding its network with flights to Reggio and Linz next month and Dubrovnik and Sarajevo in November.

Split – BA CityFlyer will operate weekly flights using Embraer 190 aircraft with Club Europe and Euro Traveller cabins. Located on the Dalmatian coast, the city offers a blend of history, culture and natural wonders. Flights will operate every Saturday, departing from Stansted at 12.55pm and arriving in Split at 4.20pm. The return leaves Split at 5.05pm and arrives in Stansted at 6.45pm.

Linz – From October, Ryanair will operate a twice-weekly service. Located in northern Austria, Linz is the country’s third largest city and is not currently served by direct flights from the UK. It will join Ryanair’s existing Stansted services to the Austrian cities of Vienna, Salzburg and Klagenfurt.

Reggio – Ryanair will fly on Wednesdays and Sundays from October to the city in the south-western Italian region of Calabria which is often called the best kept secret of Italy.

Dubrovnik – Starting in November, Ryanair will operate twice weekly flights on Wednesdays and Sundays to one of Croatia’s most visited destinations, referred to as “the Pearl of the Adriatic”.

Sarajevo – Flights to the vibrant and historical capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the heart of the Balkans, will operate on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays from November.

Stansted operates flights to more than 190 destinations across Europe, Middle East and North Africa.
