Croatia Airlines has revised its network for the upcoming 2026 summer season this week, discontinuing a third seasonal service from Split, following the previously announced suspensions of Bucharest and Amsterdam. The airline will no longer operate flights between Croatia’s second-largest city and Skopje. The route had been scheduled to run twice per week from May 8 until October 9, with a total of 45 flights planned throughout the season. The carrier had intended to deploy its Dash 8 Q400 aircraft on all services. Croatia Airlines will, however, continue to maintain operations to the Macedonian capital from Zagreb, with nine weekly flights scheduled, unchanged from last year.
In its latest network revision, Croatia Airlines also plans to reduce frequencies on several other services this summer. Flights between Rijeka and Munich will operate twice instead of three times per week, while services from Osijek to the German city will likewise be reduced from three to two weekly rotations. In addition, flights between Split and Osijek will be cut from two weekly services to just one. Despite these adjustments, Croatia Airlines will still operate more flights and offer greater capacity than during the previous summer season. The carrier now has some 18.494 scheduled flights planned between March 29 and October 24, representing a 4.4% increase year-on-year, while seat capacity is set to grow by 6.5% to approximately 2.3 million.
This marks Croatia Airlines’ third attempt at serving Skopje from Split. The airline initially operated the route on a seasonal basis during the summers of 2006 and 2007, deploying the Airbus A319 aircraft. Eight years later, in 2015, the carrier made another attempt to link the two cities, operating the service only in June and July with the Dash 8 turboprop. The most recent three-year run on the route marked its longest period of continuous operations between Split and the Macedonian capital.
