March the 15th, 2025 – Turkish Airlines is set to introduce more Zagreb and Dubrovnik flights to and from their capital of Istanbul.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Turkish Airlines will boost its operations between Istanbul and Zagreb this summer, building on previously announced planned frequency increases.
The Turkish national carrier initially planned to increase its number of flights between the two capital cities from 18 to 21 flights per week starting on March the 30th, 2025. It has now further revised its growth plans by introducing a fourth daily service on selected days during the peak summer season travel period. Turkish Airlines will add a fourth daily rotation on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays between July the 1st and September the 1st, bringing the total number of flights to 24 weekly rotations, according to Ex-Yu Aviation News.
Turkish Airlines is adding its new departure from its Istanbul hub to the Croatian capital just after midnight during the peak summer travel period, arriving in Zagreb at 01:45 local time. The return flight is scheduled to depart at 02:40, arriving in Istanbul at 05:55 local time.
These flights complement the three daily rotations departing from Turkey’s largest city in the morning, afternoon and evening. Until the coronavirus pandemic broke out back in 2020, 60% of customers travelling on that particular route were transfers from the Far East. However, this has changed in the following years due to the closure of many Asian markets. They have since recovered, and the US market also provides a significant supply. The addition of Australia to Turkish Airlines’ network will further increase transfer traffic on the Zagreb route.
Turkish Airlines is also actively planning to increase frequencies between Istanbul and Dubrovnik, as well as to Zagreb, this summer. Between July the 1st and and September the 1st, the carrier will increase the frequency from the planned daily rotation on the route to nine weekly. It will have two daily services operating on Tuesdays and Sundays.
