Dubrovnik Rudjer Bošković Airport is working on reducing its seasonality by negotiating with airlines to extend their seasonal summer operations into the winter. Ryanair, which opened a seasonal base in the coastal city this summer, will continue to run flights from Vienna, Charleroi, and London Stansted twice per week throughout the winter season, which begins on October 27 and runs until March 30 of next year.LOT Polish Airlines has now confirmed it too will extend its seasonal summer flights between Warsaw and Dubrovnik for part of the upcoming winter season. The carrier will maintain operations on the route twice per week throughout November and December, with its last service scheduled for December 31. Flights will then be suspended until March 1, when they are due to resume twice per week. As previously reported back in January, LOT has also extended its flights between Warsaw and Sarajevo until the end of November.Low cost carrier easyJet will also slightly extend operations on some of its Dubrovnik routes. Services from both London Gatwick and Manchester will operate until the end of November with two weekly rotations scheduled on each during the month. Flights will then resume on March 1 of next year. Similarly, Iberia will maintain services from Madrid until November 28, returning to the coastal city from March 2. Irish flag carrier Aer Lingus plans to restore its seasonal flights from Dublin earlier than in previous years, starting in the final weeks of the 2024/25 winter season. Operations will resume on March 16.Dubrovnik Airport is continuing to perform strongly this year. In June alone it welcomed a record 431.771 passengers, representing an increase of 25.3% on last year and an improvement of 3.8% on its previous record in 2019. During the first half of 2024, it handled 1.093.059 travellers, up 25.6% on last year and 3.1% on 2019. Much of the growth so far this year has been attributed to Ryanair with the airport estimating it will welcome a record 3.2 million passengers this year.
